Airway management is described, including an imaging device configured to capture an image of the airway and convert the image into a signal, a stylet configured to guide placement of an endotracheal tube in the airway and conduct the signal from the imaging device, the stylet being configured for introduction into a lumen of the endotracheal tube, the stylet and endotracheal tube being inserted into the airway, and an image processor configured to receive and process the signal from the imaging device, the image being sent to a display for use in guiding placement of the endotracheal tube. Also described are techniques for airway management, including capturing an image of the airway, converting the image into a signal, conducting the signal using an electrically conductive and malleable stylet, processing the signal to display the image of the airway, and guiding the insertion of an endotracheal tube into the airway using an airway management system, the airway management system having an imaging device configured to capture the image and a display for viewing the image.
