Abstract
A laryngoscope having a blade with various motion functions. The motion functions can be invoked by pushbutton type controls on the handle of the laryngoscope, and can be accomplished mechanically, electrically, or in combination. In addition to one motion suitable for lifting the tongue, the blade can also be adjusted as to its direction of projection from the handle and distance from the handle.
