Randomized Controlled TrialComparison of the Success with Two Bending Angles for Lighted stylet Intubation in Children: A Prospective Randomised Study.
The bend angle of a lighted stylet is an important factor for successful orotracheal intubation. The aim of this study was to test the differences in the success of endotracheal intubation using lighted stylet with 70° versus 90° bend angles in children aged 4-6 years with normal airways. ⋯ Lighted stylet intubation with a 90° bend angle improved the first-attempt success rate and reduced esophageal intubation in children aged 4-6 years with normal airways.
