“…56 As Table 2 highlights, ETT size is limited by the size of an LMA conduit. Previous case reports have highlighted the use of different supraglottic devices (Classic, 58,59 ProSeal, [60][61][62] Supreme, 63 I-Gel, 64 and ILMA 65 ) with a fiberoptic bronchoscope to facilitate successful intubation.…”

SummaryFiberoptic intubation (FOI) is an effective technique for establishing airway access in patients with both anticipated and unanticipated difficult airways. First described in the late 1960s, this approach can facilitate airway management in a variety of clinical scenarios given proper patient preparation and technique. This paper seeks to review the pertinent technology, clinical techniques, and indications for and complications of its use. The role of FOI in airway management algorithms is discussed. Evidence is presented comparing FOI to other techniques with regard to difficult airway management. In addition, we have reviewed the literature on training processes and skill development in FOI.

“…If the vocal cords are not seen, then jaw thrust or slight depth adjustment of SAD may help. 'Low skill' FOI can also be performed for patients with difficult airways as a primary [71] or 'rescue' technique [1,69,70,72,73]. National difficult airway algorithms include 'low skill' FOI as a 'plan B' (or equivalent) after failed initial tracheal intubation.…”

“…The ProSeal TM laryngeal mask airway has been used extensively for airway control and for ventilation management in patients with normal or difficult airways. 1 Also, the ProSeal TM laryngeal mask airway has been employed to assist fiberoptic intubation through its airway tube, 2,3 to guide insertion of the esophageal Doppler probe, 4 and to perform the esophogastric instrumentation 5 via its drainage tube. Recently, we have modified the ProSeal TM laryngeal mask airway to facilitate diagnostic fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) in anesthetized patients via the drainage tube.…”
