Abstract
Fiberoptic intubation plays a crucial role in airway management. In particular, it is considered a basic method in difficult airway management. To enhance the success rate and feasibility of fiberoptic intubation, various adjunctive methods are often used concurrently. Video laryngoscope can be a valuable adjunct during fiberoptic intubation by ensuring visualization of laryngeal space and facilitating real-time monitoring of fiberoptic bronchoscope movements. In this report, we present our experiences with video laryngoscopy-guided fiberoptic intubation in patients with unanticipated difficult airway.
