Blind intubation device and related methodologies for endotracheal intubation

A method for endotracheal intubation comprising the steps of:

• obtaining an apparatus comprising
• a funnel with a curved cannulated stem that is configured for oral insertion into a patients throat;
• a lever arm that is tucked into a tip of the curved cannulated stem so that a nub of the lever arm is disposed within the curved cannulated stem;
• obtaining an endotracheal tube;
• opening a patient's mouth;
• inserting the curved cannulated stem, tip-first, into the patient's mouth;
• manipulating the positioning of said curved cannulated stem as to allow for its passage into the patient's throat;
• ensuring the curved cannulated stem is fully inserted into the patient's throat;
• passing the endotracheal tube through said funnel and curved cannulated stem to press the nub of the lever arm so that the lever arm extends out of the tip into contact with the patient's epiglottis wherein the endotracheal tube is directed by the curved cannulated stem away from the patient's esophagus and into the patient's trachea;
• ensuring that an end of the endotracheal tube is exposed at the funnel and outside the patient's mouth;
• attaching a ventilating means to the exposed end of the endotracheal tube;
• and
• ventilating the patient's lungs with the ventilating means.
