Abstract

Laryngoscope malfunction is one of the frequent equipment failures encountered by anaesthetists. The usual causes are a failing light source, defective bulb, or faulty contact in the blade, handle, or socket. A thorough check of the laryngoscope will detect most malfunctions, which can be corrected before induction. Neglecting this precaution could spell disaster, particularly post-operatively.
