what is a stylet used for during an intubation
Parker Intubating Stylets. The Parker Flex-It Articulating Stylet can be used for nasal, as well as oral, intubation, and does not require a fixed curvature throughout the intubation. Easy thumb action allows tube curvature to be continuously varied from outside the mouth during the intubation to enable the tube to follow the curvature of the airway.
The lighted stylet can also be used in successfully completing a difficult nasotracheal intubation. An advantage of this technique over nasotracheal intubation is that it can be used in an apneic patient.
