AB  - Recent  years  have  seen  a  rapid  expansion  in  optical  devices  used  to  aid  in  endotracheal  intubation.  All  of  these  devices  use  fiberoptics  that  begin  near  the  distal  end  and  transmit  an  image  to  be  viewed  at  the  proximal  end.  Many  of  these  devices  are  variations  on  the  “optical  stylet”  concept.  They  consist  of  an  eyepiece  or  other  viewing  mechanism  attached  to  a  stylet  of  varying  degrees  of  flexibility.  A  standard  endotracheal  tube  can  be  jacketed  onto  each  device.  The  stylet  can  then  be  used  as  an  adjunct  to  standard  endotracheal  intubation  or  as  a  stand-alone  device.
