Summary

Indirect videolaryngoscopes provide an improved view of the glottis. Unfortunately enhanced video blade angulation leads to difficulty in passage of the endotracheal tube (ETT) towards the larynx around the steep blade angulation despite adequate visualization of the glottis. Pre-shaping the ETT with the rigit malleable stylet is recommended. The investigators hypothesized that using articulating stylet (AS) would enhance first attempt intubation, shorten the intubation time, reduce the possibility of the soft tissue trauma compared to conventional intubation stylet (IS) in patients with difficult airway .
