Video laryngoscopes can be used to intubate patients with respiratory instability/arrest due to severe Corona virus infection. It is a more accurate and easy procedure in comparison to using standard laryngoscopes as it directly visualizes the vocal cords.
The equipment will be donated to the National Hospital once it arrives in Sri Lanka.
Earlier, Sri Lanka Cricket too joined to cause by donating Rs 25 million.
