The front end of the video laryngoscope blade is equipped with a light source and a camera. The guided decontamination device included is composed of a guide tube and a decontamination rod. The guide tube is fixed on the outer wall of the laryngoscope handle, and has its guiding angle in parallel to the end faces of the camera and the light source at the front end of the laryngoscope blade. The decontamination rod comes into a sliding fit with the guide tube, runs out from the bottom of the guide tube upwards, and has its front end bent to form a decontamination scraper rod. The decontamination scraper rod comes into a tight fit with the end faces of the light source and the camera at the front end of the laryngoscope blade.
