Abstract

Difficult airway management remains an important challenge to the anesthesiologist because of anesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. Awake intubation is the standard of care for management of a predicted difficult airway. One accepted way of performing this, is using the flexible fiberoptic scope for nasal intubation. Quality and success of this procedure depend on the experience of the intubating physician and on the proper preparation of the patient. Nasotracheal intubation is often preferable to oral intubation in oromaxillofacial surgery1
