Video-Twin Technique for Airway Management, Combining Video-Intubating Stylet with Videolaryngoscope: A Case Series Report and Review of the Literature

| description | Direct laryngoscopy (DL) and videolaryngoscopy (VL) have been the most commonly used airway management modalities in the last several decades. Meanwhile, various optional airway tools (e.g., supraglottic devices, fiberoptic bronchoscopes) have been used for alternative rescue modalities when anticipated or unexpected difficulties in airway management has occurred. In recent decades, optical stylets and video-assisted intubating stylets have become another option for difficult airway scenarios. In contrast to other approaches, we have adopted the Shikani video-assisted intubating stylet technique (VS) for both routine and difficult airway management scenarios. In this case series report, we present the video-twin technique, combining a videolaryngoscope with a video-assisted intubating stylet in various clinical case scenarios. We propose that such a combination is easy to learn and employ and is particularly beneficial in situations where an expected difficult airway (EDA) is encountered. |
