nextgen learning to elevate your airway practice
“Think of the rigid stylet as an essential airway tool, equal in importance to its partner the hyperangulated blade. You can’t really be successful with one without the other.”
Introduction
The Rigid Stylet
An often overlooked requirement of getting good with the hyperangulated blade is that it also requires getting comfortable with two new airway tools, not one. The rigid stylet is not like regular stylets that you may be used to, and it requires learning some new skills to ensure effective tracheal access and efficient tube delivery.
