Abstract
Difficult airway management is a common situation when the anesthesiologist deals with patients with hypo pharyngeal tumors. The volume of the tumor usually covers the glottis plan and modifies the local anatomy, making the intubation process difficult or almost impossible. Intubation laryngoscopes developments are minor and adding a CCD camera at the tip of the laryngoscope is the best improvement made in our days. Today, on the market, an intubation device designed properly for the patients with extensive hypo pharyngeal tumors does not exist. The aim of the paper is to present an innovative device designed for patients with hypo pharyngeal tumors.
