Since its introduction circa 2003, hundreds of studies have attested to its value in making clinical airway management easier and safer. This review will update the reader on the art and science of using the GlideScope videolaryngoscope...

Case Report Experience of awake Fiberoptic Nasotracheal Intubation in an elderly Patient with Tonsil Cancer

Awake intubation with fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) is a popular technique in patients with difficult intubation criteria. Preservation of spontaneous respiration by nasotracheal intubation with FOB accompanied by sedation was performed in a case assessed as difficult intubation due to a high Mallampati score at preoperative evaluation and the presence of a mass extending to the oral cavity. Fo...

Fiberoptic (WuScope) Versus Conventional Lavngoscopy

Background. The WuScope is a rigid, fiberoptic laryngoscope designed to facilitate tracheal intubation without the need for head extension. The study evaluated the WuScope in anesthetized patients with neck immobilization. Methods: Patients were randomized to one of two groups: those receiving fiberoptic laryngoscopy (WuScope, n = 43) and those receiving conventional laryngoscopy (Macintosh bla...
