Hang IV Bags From Bent ET Stylets

Endotracheal tube stylets are handy devices in many ways. They're strong, sterile and malleable, so with a little bend, they're great for hanging large IV bags. When we do knee scopes, I like to save time by hanging 4 bags, 2 on the IV pole and 2 a little lower on an ET stylet that I've shaped accordingly.
