Description
The Stylet for Intubation is indicated as an auxiliary device during endotracheal tube application maneuvers.
Its purpose is to facilitate the introduction of these tubes into the airway, especially:
– in coordinated patients:
. with a much anterior larynx (Cormack-Lehane III or IV)
– in patients in emergency circumstances:
. with the possibility of cervical injury that requires intubation with cervical stabilization in line
with a reduction in laryngoscopic vision of the glottis
. with a full stomach that requires a rapid sequence induction and therefore immediate
access to the airway;
. with ventilatory deterioration, requiring urgent endotracheal intubation.
The intubation mandrel should be placed within the lumen of the endotracheal tube with the following precautions:
– the flexible end must be positioned towards the distal end of the tube;
– should not exceed the distal end to avoid soft tissue injury.
