Abstract:
A tracheal intubation system including a laryngoscope is disclosed. An endotracheal tube exchange system is also disclosed. In some examples, the system includes a laryngoscope, a stylet, and an endotracheal tube. In some examples the stylet is an articulating stylet. An endotracheal tube with one or more depth-assessment bands is also disclosed. An articulating stylet with one or more depth-assessment bands and an orientation mark is also disclosed. A method of positioning an endotracheal tube in a patient is also disclosed. A method of positioning a stylet for placement of an endotracheal tube is also disclosed. A method of performing an endotracheal tube exchange procedure is also disclosed.

Claim (Index 23):
A stylet for mounting an endotracheal tube, the stylet comprising:\n a shaft comprising a first segment and a second segment, wherein the first segment of the shaft comprises distal end comprising a tip; a plurality of depth assessment bands located on the shaft, each depth assessment band visually distinct from an adjacent depth assessment band,\n a first depth assessment band located near the distal end, and having a first visual representation, wherein when the first depth assessment band is positioned adjacent the vocal cords of a patient, the first depth assessment band indicates that the tip has not been inserted to an appropriate depth; \n a second depth assessment band located adjacent the first depth assessment band, and having a second visual representation, wherein when the second depth assessment band is positioned adjacent the vocal cords of the patient, the second depth assessment band indicates that the tip has been inserted to an appropriate depth; and \n a third depth assessment band located near the distal end, and having a third visual representation, wherein when the third depth assessment band is positioned adjacent the vocal cords of a patient, the third depth assessment band indicates that the tip has not been inserted to an appropriate depth; and \n wherein the stylet is sized to allow an endotracheal tube to be passed over it from end to end.
