Video stylet with directable tip

摘要

A video intubation system that provides for multiple image streams to be simultaneously presented to a user, the first image stream generated by a video laryngoscope (300) and the second image stream generated by a video stylet (200). The video stylet (200) is provided with a deflection section (212) for ease of introducing an endotracheal tube (ETT) (100) into the trachea of a patient, the video stylet (200) having a pistol-type grip and a control interface in the form of a trigger-type lever to facilitate comfortable gripping and manipulation by the user. Both the video stylet image data and the laryngoscope image data are simultaneously displayed on a display (238) ( Fig. 8 ).
