AbstractA forty-year old man hanged himself and was transported to our hospital. On arrival his consciousness was clear but he showed dyspnea, dysphagia, and oral bleeding. Tracheal intubation was attempted but was failed and emergency tracheostomy was successfully accomplished. Tracheoplasty was soon scheduled under general anesthesia because of subcutaneous emphysema. An ordinary laryngoscope could not give a view of the larynx at all. Orotracheal intubation was accomplished with StyletScope. It worked very well for the destroyed trachea. StyletScope is a useful device for intubation, especially in difficult airway management.
