The development of devices to simplify airway handling are changing our approach to tracheal intubation. We report a case series of three patients who underwent awake tracheal intubation with the ProVu™ video stylet (Flexicare Medical Ltd, Mountain Ash, UK). All three patients had predicted difficult airways, including: limited mouth opening secondary to radiotherapy; previous exenteration, hemi-maxillectomy and scapular free flap formation; and cervical fixation. Awake tracheal intubation was performed successfully in all three cases, with no complications reported. This is the first reported case series of the ProVu™ video stylet as an awake tracheal intubation device. The benefits and limitations of this video stylet are discussed.Anaesthesia reportse12102https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8006091biostudies-literatureAwake tracheal intubation with the ProVu™ video stylet: a case series.PMC8006091Dua GHarrison SLAhmad IElwen FCurtis ASurda PJohnstone CfalseAwake tracheal intubation with the ProVu™ video stylet: a case series.Management of the difficult airway is integral to peri-operative practice.
