Core Tip Proximity of the operators to the patient is inevitable with conventional endotracheal intubation procedures. In this endotracheal intubation method, the gastrointestinal endoscope is used as an alternative to the bronchoscope. Thus, endotracheal intubation can be performed while keeping a relatively safe distance from the patient, as the gastrointestinal endoscope has a long effective length. Furthermore, the flexible tip-steerable control of the gastrointestinal endoscope enables quick and reliable endotracheal intubation.
