Observational StudyProspective observational study evaluating the C-MAC Video Stylet for awake tracheal intubation: a single-center study.
The gold standard for management of known or predicted difficult airways is awake tracheal intubation. The newly developed C-MAC Video Stylet promises to combine the advantages of rigid stylets and flexible optical scopes. We therefore evaluated the feasibility of awake orotracheal intubations with this device. ⋯ The new C-MAC Video Stylet has the potential to serve as a suitable device for visualized oral awake intubation in difficult airway situations.
