The StyletScope(R) facilitates tracheal intubation with the GlideScope(R).

摘要

The GlideScope~R (Diagnostic Ultrasound Corporation, Bothell, WA, USA) is a videolaryngoscope that could have a profound impact on clinical airway management. The flange of the blade has a 60?angle, resulting in a better exposure of the larynx than traditional Macintosh blades.1 However, one limitation of the device is that the flange of the blade is angled in such a way that it may be difficult, or occasionally impossible, to pass the endotracheal tube (ETT) through the glottis, despite complete visualization of the glottis.
