520			_aManaging a difficult airway preoccupies the primordial concern of present day clinicians in general anesthesia despite the advent of high technology. The attempted refinement of already existing techniques in addressing such a problem is one endeavor so as to clear the airway of any obstruction leading to a direct and accelerated visualization of the route of intubation. The Skinani seeing stylet is purposely designed, hence it was mirrored against the standard or conventional laryngoscopy to determine its facility of use, and advantage in any clinical setting. Thirty patients slated for general anesthesia were randomly selected and divided equally into 2 treatment groups. The first group had endotracheal intubation via the standard or conventional laryngoscopy while the second group, solely with the Shikani Seeing Stylet. Five patients demonstrated abnormal airways which were indicative of difficult endotracheal intubation. These abnormalities ranged from mandibular, laryngeal and neck anomalies to Mallampati Classes 3 and 4. Three males and 2 females. majority of whom were to age-range 20-40. Even with the difficult airways, the Shikani Seeing Stylet endoscope evolved as a more effective instrument in facilitating a clearer, direct viewing of the trachea, in addition to the edge it provided in reducing the time for the conduct of endotracheal intubation. However, this observed advantage should not be overemphasized so as to discard the standard or convention laryngoscopy. It should be noted that the Shikani Seeing Stylet has been designed as an aid for endotracheal intubation especially in situations where difficult airway is anticipated.
