Abstract
A video laryngoscope has a handle and a blade. A chemiluminescent light source is disposed inside the handle, along with one or more photovoltaic cells which are optically coupled to convert chemiluminescence emitted by the chemiluminescent light source into electrical power. An image sensor is disposed on the blade or in the handle and is configured to image the glottis of a patient when the distal end of the laryngoscope blade operatively engages the tongue of the patient. The image sensor is powered by the electrical power produced by the one or more photovoltaic cells. A system for recording tracheal intubation procedures performed by a plurality of video laryngoscopes is also disclosed.
