A randomized controlled trail comparing the visual stylet and visual laryngoscope for transoral single lumen tracheal intubation.

ABSTRACT: Visual laryngoscope, as the most commonly used tracheal intubation tool in clinical practice, has a high intubation success rate and is quick to learn, but there are risks of over flexion of the neck, tooth loss, etc. The visual stylet helps to make up for these shortcomings. This study aimed to compare the effects of the visual stylet and visual laryngoscope on transoral single lumen tracheal intubation in non-difficult airways. The primary outcome was intubation time, and secondary outcomes included glottic exposure time, first success rates, hemodynamic indices, intubation-related complications. A total of 148 patients were included, with 75 in the visual stylet (VS) group and 73 in the visual laryngoscope (VL) group. The intubation time in the VS group was 35 (11) seconds, significantl
