PY - 2013 T2 - Emergency Medicine Procedures, 2e AB - Direct laryngoscopy was introduced in 1895 by Afred Kirstein. Since that time, physicians have developed instruments to improve visualization of the larynx while limiting tissue trauma. The Macintosh and Miller laryngoscope blades were developed in the 1940s and have been the primary tool for endotracheal (ET) intubation.1 Although they have been effectively used for most ET intubations, there are limitations to their ability to allow direct visualization of the glottis and surrounding structures. Numerous adjuncts have since been developed to assist in ET intubation.1 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=57701399 ER -
