Dr. Thomas M. Hemmerling, a McGill University professor who also happens to be the creator of the McSleepy automated anesthesia system, has created another device to assist anesthesiologists in the operating room. The Kepler Intubation System, or KIS, is the world’s first intubation robot designed to facilitate the intubation procedure and reduce some complications associated with airway management.
The device consists of a robotically mounted video-laryngoscope that is controlled by a joystick to accurately and effortlessly insert an endotracheal tube used during general anesthesia.
