“…When using a bronchial blocker, a fiberoptic bronchoscope is required to verify the position of the bronchial blocker, because the repeated use of the fiberoptic bronchoscope increases the risk of tumor rupture and/or hemorrhage. In these situations, the VivaSight© SLT guided bronchial blocker for one-lung ventilation can be used with advantage [ 111 , 112 ]. VivaSight SLT has been compared with Macintosh direct laryngoscopy in critically ill patients requiring tracheal intubation [ 113 ].…”

Optical Devices in Tracheal Intubation—State of the Art in 2020

The review article is focused on developments in optical devices, other than laryngoscopes, in airway management and tracheal intubation. It brings information on advantages and limitations in their use, compares different devices, and summarizes benefits in various clinical settings. Supraglottic airway devices may be used as a conduit for fiberscope-guided tracheal intubation mainly as a rescue plan in the scenario of difficult or failed laryngoscopy. Some of these devices offer the possibility of direct endotracheal tube placement. Hybrid devices combine the features of two different intubating tools. Rigid and semi-rigid optical stylets represent another option in airway management. They offer benefits in restricted mouth opening and may be used also for retromolar intubation. Awake flexible fiberoptic intubation has been a gold standard in predicted difficult laryngoscopy for decades. Modern flexible bronchoscopes used in anesthesia and intensive care are disposable devices and contain optical lenses instead of fibers. Endotracheal tubes with an incorporated optics are used mainly in thoracic anesthesia for lung separation. They are available in double-lumen and single-lumen versions. They offer a benefit of direct view to the carina and do not require flexible fiberscope for their correct placement.
