Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Airway Management

Context:

  • Difficult endotracheal intubation presents a significant challenge in anesthesia.
  • Pre-anesthetic evaluation is crucial for identifying patients with anticipated difficult airways.

Purpose:

  • To review anesthetic techniques for managing difficult endotracheal intubation.
  • To highlight the fiberoptic bronchoscope as a primary technique and discuss alternatives.

Summary:

  • Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is the technique of choice for anticipated difficult intubation in adults (local anesthesia) and children (general anesthesia).
  • When a fiberoptic bronchoscope is unavailable, alternatives include glottic anesthesia, retro-molar/retrograde intubation, or a guide over a lighted stylet for spontaneously breathing patients.
  • For paralyzed patients with an impossible-to-intubate scenario, emergency trans-laryngeal ventilation techniques like jet ventilation, cricothyroidotomy cannula, or minitracheotomy are essential.
