Abstract
An endotracheal stylet guide includes an elongate, arcuate section, and a substantially J-shaped tracheal-seeking section on the distal end of the arcuate section. The stylet guide is inserted, distal end first, into an endotracheal tube. The tube is positioned in the throat such that the J-shaped, tracheal-seeking section is adjacent the epiglottis, opposing the opening to the larynx. The stylet guide is advanced in the endotracheal tube, and the J-shaped section enters and tracks down the trachea. The endotracheal tube is then advanced on the stylet guide, into the trachea. The stylet guide is removed and intubation then proceeds conventionally.
