    AbstractA method of tracheal intubation facilitated by using a transtracheal guide-wire is illustrated by three selected case stories. In two cases, the patients were blindly intubated and in the third case, with epiglottitis, the aditus layngis could be identified only by use of the guidewire. Using a laryngoscope and Magill's forceps, intubation was in this case performed without complications. It is suggested that the method applied in cases of difficult intubation may reduce the rate of acute tracheostomies.
