The present invention is a method of performing endotracheal intubation and a new and novel intubation device for performing the method. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the intubation device comprises an endotracheal tube having a forward open end and a rearward open end and an inner bore there between. A stylet is telescopingly positioned within the inner bore and extends outwardly from the forward open end and includes a longitudinally extending soft and flexible guide portion. A distal stylet cuff may be inflated to provide a smooth transition from the guide portion to the endotracheal tube, and a proximal unidirectional end cap may engage a proximal connector of the endotracheal tube and cooperate with the cuff to seat the stylet within the endotracheal tube for intubation as a unitary whole.
