PURPOSE OF REVIEW: We present the newest devices being promoted for difficult-airway management. Our focus is on optical stylets which offer a forward view from the stylet end positioned within the tip of the endotracheal tube. RECENT FINDINGS: Reports suggest that these devices are mastered quickly and offer effective airway management aid. Available in adult and pediatric sizes they are economically priced at approximately US$ 3000. SUMMARY: Generally favorable experience with use of optical stylets continues to be reported. Our survey of clinicians' opinions reflects our own experience; these devices are unique and are attractive adjuncts to standard- and difficult-airway carts. |
