“…The proper shape (bent length and angle) of a stylet is important for successful intubation. 21,28,29 To achieve a smooth lightwand intubation, the tip of the stylet-ETT unit should be close to the tracheal opening and a 90° angle bend is required to provide relatively clear transillumination through the skin of the neck. 20,30 With the patient in the supine position, the glottic chink is near the thyroid prominence, the upper incisor and the inferior margin of the palatum molle are in the same vertical line, and the mandibular angle is close to the tongue base in the sagittal plane.…”
