    AbstractAwake fibreoptic intubation has always been considered the gold standard for expected difficult airway management. However, the use of fibreoptic intubation was limited because it is time-consuming, requires skillful operators and easily affected by blood or secretions in the oral or nasopharynx. We reported a modified technique of awake fibreoptic nasal intubation with the aid of End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) monitoring, aiming to improve the efficiency and safety of awake fibreoptic intubation.© 2021.
