Tracheal intubation is a common and crucial procedure in modern medicine, especially in the fields of emergency, anesthesia, and intensive care (ICU). Its success or failure directly affects the patient's life safety. Traditional endotracheal intubation relies on medical personnel relying on their experience to directly observe the airway through visual observation. However, anatomical variations, trauma, swelling, hematoma, and other factors in the airway often make the intubation process difficult, complex, and even increase the risk of complications. Therefore, the emergence of visual endoscopes for disposable endotracheal intubation has greatly improved the success rate and safety of intubation, becoming an indispensable and important tool in these departments.

1、 Application in Anesthesiology

In anesthesia, tracheal intubation under general anesthesia is a necessary means to ensure airway patency and anesthesia effectiveness. Anesthesiologists need to quickly and safely complete endotracheal intubation in patients after general anesthesia to avoid serious complications such as misplacement of the esophagus and airway injury. Difficult airways (such as obesity, limited neck mobility, congenital anatomical abnormalities, etc.) are even more challenges faced by anesthesiologists.

1. Improve the success rate of tracheal intubation: For patients with difficult airways, traditional laryngoscopy intubation is prone to failure, especially in patients with difficult neck anatomy. The Hongba disposable endotracheal intubation visual laryngoscope (hereinafter referred to as Hongba visual laryngoscope) can present a clear airway view in real time, help doctors locate the trachea, avoid airway damage, and improve the success rate of intubation.

2. Reduce neck injury: Traditional intubation methods can easily lead to airway injury in some anesthesia patients, especially those with neck stiffness or deformity. By using the Hongba visual laryngoscope, anesthesiologists can accurately insert tubes without significantly rotating the patient's head, reducing the risk of airway damage.

3. High operational accuracy: The Hongba visual laryngoscope allows anesthesiologists to see details such as the entrance, throat, and airway patency of the trachea, avoiding errors or inaccuracies in intubation depth caused by traditional laryngoscopes that cannot be directly viewed or operated improperly.

2、 Application in emergency department

Emergency department patients are often in critical condition, and airway management is the key to determining life and death. The common cases faced by the emergency department include severe trauma, suffocation, airway obstruction, airway swelling, etc. Patients may have loss of consciousness and respiratory failure, and rapid and precise airway patency needs to be ensured during intubation.

1. Real time image guidance: The Hongba visual laryngoscope presents real-time images of the airway to doctors through a built-in camera, helping doctors accurately determine the position of the airway and the direction of intubation. Especially when intubation is difficult, doctors can clearly see the airway to avoid accidentally inserting the esophagus or injuring the airway.

2. Reduce complications: Improper intubation or airway injury during emergency intubation can often lead to serious consequences, especially in trauma patients, where rapid and accurate intubation is crucial. The appearance of the Hongba visual laryngoscope is smooth and rounded, reducing frictional resistance during use, effectively avoiding irritation and damage to the mucous membrane of the throat, reducing the incidence of airway damage, and avoiding hypoxemia or aspiration caused by operational errors.

3. Adapting to difficult airways: Patients with common "difficult airways" in the emergency department, such as obese patients, neck deformities, protruding teeth, facial trauma, etc., have difficulty with traditional laryngoscope intubation. However, the Hongba visual laryngoscope is designed with a narrow middle to reserve comfortable operating space for intubation and is compatible with various types of catheters. The curvature of the front end conforms to the characteristics of the human airway, making it convenient for patients with traumatic injuries, high glottis, and abnormal oral structures to be intubated.

3、 Application in Intensive Care Unit (ICU)

ICU patients are mostly critically ill and require ventilator assisted ventilation or long-term airway management. Tracheal intubation, as a means of maintaining airway patency, directly determines the prognosis of patients. In ICU, patients often have multiple comorbidities, greatly increasing the complexity and difficulty of airway management.

The application of Hongba visual laryngoscope in intensive care is very extensive. For critically ill patients who require endotracheal intubation due to respiratory failure caused by various reasons, a visual laryngoscope can provide a clear view of the larynx. In the intensive care unit, patients' conditions are often complex and critical, and traditional laryngoscopes may not be able to meet the needs of rapid and accurate intubation. The Hongba visual laryngoscope, with its advanced optical system, allows medical staff to clearly see the structure of the patient's throat, including key areas such as the vocal cords and epiglottis. This greatly improves the success rate of intubation and reduces the damage to the patient's throat caused by repeated intubation.

For example, in some patients who require emergency establishment of artificial airways after traumatic brain injury or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the Hongba visual laryngoscope can help medical staff quickly complete intubation procedures, buying valuable time for subsequent mechanical ventilation and treatment.

Meanwhile, the visual laryngoscope also plays an important role in monitoring the airway condition of patients. During the treatment of critically ill patients, there may be situations such as airway edema and sputum blockage. Medical staff can use the Hongba visual laryngoscope to regularly check the airway, identify problems in a timely manner, and take corresponding measures, such as adjusting the position of the endotracheal tube or performing suction operations, to ensure airway patency. In addition, the Hongba visual laryngoscope has the following advantages:

1. Reduce the risk of hospital infection: Aseptic packaging, single use as a whole, external display effectively ensures the safe distance between doctors and patients, and reduces the risk of hospital infection caused by the use of traditional tracheal intubation tools.

2. Cost controllable: Both tablets and mobile phones can be used as external displays, reducing hospital disinfection costs, labor costs, and post maintenance costs.

3. Complex patient management: In the ICU, patients may experience changes in airway morphology due to trauma, tumors, airway inflammation, and other reasons, which increases the difficulty of intubation. Hongba Visual Endoscope has high image restoration accuracy, anti fog technology, unobstructed wide-angle field of view, and external display for unlimited observation angle. Provides clear visual feedback, making the intubation process safer and more reliable.

5、 Other departments

In addition to anesthesiology, emergency department, and ICU, Hongba visual laryngoscope is also widely used in other departments. For example, the Hongba visual laryngoscope can be used in otolaryngology to examine and evaluate patients' throat, glottis, and airway conditions. Its high-definition imaging and anti fog technology help doctors accurately identify the location of lesions, providing assistance for surgeries such as airway obstruction and vocal cord lesions, while reducing patient discomfort.; In the respiratory department, the Hongba visual laryngoscope can be used for bronchoscopy and other procedures. Visual laryngoscope plays an irreplaceable role in multidisciplinary airway management and surgical assistance due to its high-definition display, flexible operation, and high safety, effectively improving the clinical efficiency and patient safety of various departments. As an advanced medical device, the Hongba visual laryngoscope is increasingly being used in different departments, providing strong support for medical work.
