Using GlideRite Stylet with the King Vision

Thanks to our great friend Dr Jim DuCanto for demonstrating this technique!

This video has been peer reviewed by myself and Dr Tim Leeuwenburg

Tim provides the following commentary:

Useful little video demonstrating an extra ‘pearl’ to the VL armamentorium

Not traditionally a fan of the GlideRite stylet myself, I would suggest practice on mannikin and theatre to master the ‘pop and drop’ technique of offloading the ETT

This DOES help with the problem of KV (like other Bullard-type blades) allowing great view of the glottic opening, which doesn;t always translate into tube delivery

Will we see KingVsiion market their device with a stylet in future?

Thanks Jim and Minh
