INTUBATION WITH USE OF THE FLEXIBLE OPTICAL STYLET.. With an optical Stylet the fibre optic cable is within the endotracheal tube so all that is seen is navigation into the trachea with subsequent withdrawal once the trachea is seen. With indirect video Laryngoscopy the endotracheal tube has to be placed into the Trachea with assistance of the Visual Display Unit. Anesthesia | Anesthesia

A new consensus from the Spanish Society of Anaesthesiology, Resuscitation, and Pain Therapy (SEDAR), the Spanish Society of Emergency Medicine (SEMES), the Latin American Federation of Emergency Medicine (FLAME) and the International Airway Group (IAG) presents twelve recommendations to support universal use
