Summary

If the patients's teeth are weak or the mouth dose not open well, the lightwand is a useful device when endotracheal intubation is necessary.

Therefore, if the appropriate position of the light beam is determined and the distance of the light source suitable for intubation using the lightwand is obtained from anatomical structures such as thyroid cartilage and cricoid cartilage, it is clinically useful. Because it can prevent unnecessary deep insertion or shallow insertion that can cause damage to anatomical structures during intubation.
