AbstractFiberoptic intubation is widely accepted in the management of a "difficult airway". In the majority of these cases the underlying anatomical findings require a nasal approach. We report a case of fiberoptic intubation where nasal passage was not possible. Orotracheal fiberoptic intubation was easily performed using a Williams oral airway and a Patil-Syracuse face mask. We recommend this technique for those cases where fiberoptic intubation is indicated but contraindications to the transnasal route apply and an "asleep-intubation" is desired.
