Video Summary
Dr. Felix Yang discusses the Essure Esophageal Deviator and provides tips and tricks for its use. The training sheet included with the device offers valuable information. One technique involves the anesthesiologist performing a valsalva maneuver or apnea to facilitate esophageal deviation. Different methods for flipping the stylet are presented, including manual flipping and rotating it while withdrawing it through the OG tube. The primary curve of the device determines the direction of deviation, and gentle, slow advancement is important to avoid complications. The temperature probe can be used to guide the procedure, and if needed, the stylet can be retracted and repositioned.
