In the current medical industry, a laryngoscope is frequently used to examine the state of a patient’s larynx. A healthy larynx is important since it contains your vocal cords (folds). Air passes through your larynx and over your vocal cords, causing them to vibrate which produces sound. It also helps you breathe, talk, and swallow. It’s positioned at the top of your trachea or windpipe at the back of the throat. Two unique video laryngoscope units are both the Verathon Glidescope GO and Axia HDView D-Series.

WHAT IS A LARYNGOSCOPE?

Laryngoscopy is a procedure a doctor uses to look at the larynx (voice box), including the vocal cords, as well as nearby structures like the back of the throat. There are different types of laryngoscopy:

• In a direct laryngoscopy, the doctor has the option to utilize various kinds of laryngoscopes, such as long, slender instruments equipped with a light and a lens or a small video camera at the tip. The laryngoscope is inserted through either the nose or mouth and directed down the throat. Some laryngoscopes are flexible (fiber-optic), while others are rigid (stiff). The decision on which type to use is based on the specific purpose of the procedure.
• For an indirect laryngoscopy, the doctor directs a light at the back of the throat, typically by wearing headgear with a bright light attached, and employs a small, angled mirror positioned at the back of the throat to visualize the vocal cords.
