With new advances in pediatric otolaryngology, the awareness of difficulties with existing laryngoscope instruments has become more apparent. The following paper introduces four new pediatric laryngoscopes for use in premature infants, the neonate and infant, the toddler-size child, and the preadolescent-size child. ⋯ The need for continuous insufflation of oxygen during difficult as well as routine intubation is underscored with reference to the current anesthesia literature. Ventilating techniques in laryngoscopy for the non-respirator-dependent child are discussed.
