    AbstractThe flexible fiberoptic laryngoscope is an excellent instrument for performing tracheal intubation in patients with abnormal upper airway anatomy. In order to prepare to use the fiberscope for the infrequent patient with a "difficult" airway, the anesthesiologist must initially learn and practice the technique in patients with normal anatomy. Orotracheal intubation with the fiberscope in these patients receiving general anesthesia provides the anesthesiologist with abundant opportunities to become skillful.
