Abstract
A combination stylet device for use in guiding an endotracheal tube during an intubation procedure includes an elongated hollow sleeve having a fitting at one end configured for mating with a syringe and a nozzle at the second end for generating a fine spray of a liquid forward from the second end. An elongated bendable guiding stylet is disposed coaxially within the sleeve to define a channel through which pressurized liquid is conducted from the fitting to the nozzle. The sleeve is inserted into the endotracheal tube during intubation to guide the insertion and to allow for administration a medication from the end of the endotracheal tube.
