    AbstractThe authors report on the airway management during induction of general anaesthesia in a patient with known difficulties with intubation. After failed optimized attempts at direct laryngoscopy ventilation was secured with the new single-use laryngeal mask i-gel. The special construction of the i-gel allowed the fiber optic confirmation of a good view of the glottis and trachea, allowing successful fiber optic-guided intubation of the trachea using a size 6 mm cuffed tracheal tube.
