Abstract
Disclosed is a laryngoscope arrangement that channels gas, such as oxygen, through a passageway and out through an exhaust port near or at a blade distal end of a laryngoscope blade of the laryngoscope to infuse a patient with the gas during an intubation procedure. The laryngoscope arrangement can either be a gas channeling laryngoscope or gas channeling sleeve that fits over a significant portion of a standard, non-gas carrying laryngoscope. In either case, the passageway is formed along a manufacturing seam of either the gas channeling laryngoscope or gas channeling sleeve. The passageway is configured to be connected to a gas source, such as a tank or compressor.
