Figure 9.2 A laryngoscope with an extended blade is needed to enable viewing of the larynx.

Figure 9.3 The laryngoscope blade must be long enough to extend beyond the base of the tongue.

Figure 9.4 The laryngoscope light source must be sufficiently bright so it illuminates the pharynx.

Figure 9.5 A long, thin stylette is used as a guide for the endotracheal tube.

Figure 9.6 The stylette must be long enough to be able to pass into the trachea as well as extend beyond the length of the endotracheal tube.

Figure 9.7 The endotracheal tube is passed over the stylette and pushed forward into the trachea.
