Abstract :
Airway devices such as the GlideScope® videolaryngoscope or the Airtraq® optical laryngoscope can facilitate fibreoptic-guided intubation. In this report we show how a fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) guided through a channeled King Vision™ videolaryngoscope can aid awake tracheal intubation, as we illustrate in a patient with a giant lymphocele complicated by airway edema.
