An Airway which Facilitates intubation with a Fiberoptic Laryngoscope

Awake intubation with video laryngoscope and fiberoptic bronchoscope in difficult airway patients.

To the Editor: In a randomized clinical trial, Rosenstock et al.1 showed no significant difference in time to awake intubation by experienced investigators using the McGrath video laryngoscope (MVL) compared with the fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) in difficult airway patients. Accordingly, the authors conclude that awake MVL intubation seems to be a potential alternative to awake fiberoptic intu...

Airway regional anesthesia for awake fiberoptic intubation.

Providing anesthetic care to the patient with a difficult airway keenly interests anesthesiologists and is a situation that often provokes much anxiety and trepidation. However, dealing effectively and safely with these patients is a skill that all anesthesiologists should be familiar with and are expected to perform with competency. Difficult airways arise from multiple causes. Access to the o...

Airtraq(®) laryngoscope-assisted fiberoptic bronchoscope intubation in a child with Pierre-Robin sequence: a case report.

We present a new strategy method of combining use of Airtraq(®) and fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) for tracheal intubation in 3-year-old child with Pierre-Robin sequence.

Using a nasopharyngeal airway during fiberoptic intubation in small children with a difficult airway.

BACKGROUND Induction of anesthesia and tracheal intubation in small children with a difficult airway is a challenging task. We report the experience with a procedure based on sevoflurane inhalation via a nasopharyngeal airway inserted early during induction before airway obstruction occurs. A pediatric fiberscope is used to perform a nasotracheal intubation via the opposite nostril. METHODS A...
