He can do it without a laryngoscope since he has a cathether feeder in it, hence the little light, also notice he can check the position of the tube with the light being visual through the throat.

There may be others but the one that we use is called a lightwand. It is useful in cases where one is concerned about neck extension and or mouth opening and some other situations. I do not use it that much. We got the Glide-scope and McGRATH this came out and I use those more. Lightwand might be more useful in a bloody airway compared to those tools however.

you can just see the light, if the tube is in the trachea. If you don't see this light, you know that you are in the esophagus;)
For an anesthesiologist trained in this technique is very easy. Often it's the first option after to check in laryngoscopy to be a more difficult intubation.
