    Summary

    Fiberoptic intubation is a common technique for difficult airways, usually via the nose. This case demonstrates successful orotracheal fiberoptic intubation when nasal passage was impossible, offering an alternative for asleep intubation.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Airway Management

    Background:

    • Fiberoptic intubation is a standard technique for managing difficult airways.
    • The transnasal approach is most common due to anatomical considerations.

    Observation:

    • A case is presented where transnasal fiberoptic intubation was not feasible.
    • The patient required intubation despite contraindications to the nasal route.

    Findings:

    • Orotracheal fiberoptic intubation was successfully performed.
    • This was achieved using a Williams oral airway and a Patil-Syracuse face mask.
    • The technique facilitated an "asleep intubation".

    Implications:

    • This orotracheal technique provides an alternative for fiberoptic intubation when the nasal route is contraindicated.
    • It is a viable option for elective "asleep intubation" in specific difficult airway scenarios.
    • Highlights the importance of adaptable airway management strategies.
