Figure 4. Right-turn overhand technique for hyperangulated stylet insertion into the trachea. By turning the stylet and tube 90 degrees, the tube angles downward, aligning with the inclination of the trachea. Note that the tube can be advanced in small increments off the stylet using the right hand only as long as an overhand grip is used at the top of the tube and stylet.
