Difficult Airway Society awake intubation guidelines: supraglottic airway-guided flexible bronchoscopic intubation as an alternative

摘要

The Difficult Airway Society guidelines on awake tracheal intubation have recently been published [ ]. We agree that the use of supraglottic airway devices (SADs) as a conduit for awake tracheal intubation warrants future investigation. We recently reported a case series of awake supraglottic airway-guided flexible bronchoscopic intubation (SAGFBI) [ ], a technique that may offer additional advantages to conventional FBI.
