Artificial intelligence-based automatic intubation device and method of operating the same

A method of operating an artificial intelligence-based automatic intubation device, the method comprising:

• capturing an image of the inside of a trachea by using an image capturing channel provided on a video laryngoscope and collecting image information in respect to the captured image of the inside of the trachea;
• detecting, by a control unit of the intubation device, a respiratory tract position by applying, to the collected image information, an artificial intelligence algorithm prepared by performing machine learning on a plurality of respiratory tract images;
• indicating, by the control unit, the detected respiratory tract position on the captured image of the inside of the trachea;
• and
• controlling, by the control unit, based on the detected respiratory tract position, an operation of a body of the intubation device and an operation of a blade coupled to the image capturing channel so that a traveling direction of an intubation tube is automatically adjusted.
