Endotracheal intubation in patients undergoing open abdominal surgery in the lateral position: a comparison between intubating video stylet and fiberoptic intubating bronchoscopy.

Conclusions: In laterally positioned patients, elective endotracheal intubation with VS provides less intubation time and incidence of success rate for a single intubation trial [88%]; however, its use is accompanied by a significant increase in hemodynamic response after intubation and an increased incidence of sore throat.
