“…4 Although there are some known complications 5 like airway trauma, bleeding from nose/cricothyrotomy site, subcutaneous emphysema, infections and even variable success rates among practitioners 6 ; we did not encounter any problem. Recent advances of retrograde intubation and the combined use with fiber optic bronchoscope 7 , or ultrasound guidance 8 have renewed interest in this old technique.…”

Neglected cervical spine injury is a challenging scenario for an anaesthetist. Fixed deformities, altered local anatomy, fear of neurological worsening makes intubation difficult and prevents use of manoeuvers in classical intubation. Advances in equipment like fiberoptic bronchoscope or the video laryngoscope aid in such situations. Retrograde intubation (RI) is a useful alternative with high success rate in safe and experienced personnel. The purpose of the article is to highlight the use of this slowly becoming antique technique which becomes quite handy in difficult airway situations.

“…Vieira and colleagues report emergency awake retrograde tracheal intubation for a patient with critical airway obstruction from a 'friable, haemorrhagic' periglottic tumour, claiming it 'may be the safest option' [1]. We agree that retrograde techniques may have particular utility in airways compromised by bleeding or secretions, which render approaches relying on visualisation difficult or impossible.…”

“…We thank Drs Ball and Stallard for their letter related to our article [1] in which we describe a new application of ultrasound in airway management. We used a guidewire because, in our department, we have had better results compared with epidural catheters, which occasionally become kinked or coiled.…”
