Efficiency of a New Fiberoptic Stylet Scope in Tracheal Intubation 

Abstract

Tracheal intubation using the FSS proved to be a simple and effective technique for airway management.

The StyletScope™ is a better intubation tool than a conventional stylet during simulated cervical spine immobilization

“…These findings suggest that the FOS may be useful in the difficult airway scenario and in patients requiring manual-in-line stabilization. Our first attempt success rate for Cormack-Lehane 3/4 was slightly lower than that of Kitamura et al 1 (80% vs 94%). This may be related to our use of manual-in-line stabilization rather than intentional insufficient laryngoscopy.…”

A new video laryngoscope—an aid to intubation and teaching

“…These include a fiberoptic intubation scope with camera and light weight portable screen described by George 17 , the Berall Laryngoscope 18 , an optical stylet armed with an endotracheal tube and containing a flexible image bundle eyepiece described by Bashour 19 and Lee 20 , and a similar device with an attached television camera by Berci 21 . Kitamura et al Also described a fiberoptic stylet with an eyepiece and a flexible tip 22 .…”

L’assistance vidéoscopique facilite l’intubation endotrachéale des patients pédiatriques

“…17,18 These can be used without external light sources and video-camera systems, and therefore are considered to be superior to video-optical equipped devices. 1 8 However, in our opinion, videotransmission of the endoscopic view facilitates the endoscopic procedure, improves manual dexterity and allows nearly simultaneous observation of the video-display, patient and monitors in a comfortable and efficient position for intubation.…”
