It encompasses acute respiratory illnesses such as bronchitis, pneumonia, influenza, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The laryngoscope is used to identify respiratory illnesses such as dysphonia, laryngitis, and laryngeal cancer and also to seal the breathing passages of patients with respiratory disorders that require intubation, such as tuberculosis, COVID-19, and Ebola, to reduce aerosolization and pathogen transmission to healthcare professionals. For instance, in June 2025, according to the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), a UK-based governmental agency, between the fiscal years ending 2023 and 2024, England experienced a 7% increase in emergency hospital admissions for respiratory diseases.
