AbstractThe authors describe the use of nasotracheal AirtraQ(®) laryngoscope to perform orotracheal intubation with reinforced endotracheal tube in patients with difficult airways. The choice of nasotracheal AirtraQ(®) instead of orotracheal device resulted from the difficulty that they sometimes found using orotracheal AirtraQ(®) with reinforced endotracheal tube. The nasotracheal AirtraQ(®) may be successfully used to perform orotracheal intubation with styletted reinforced endotracheal tube, specially in case of difficulty in advancing it inside the tube-guiding channel of orotracheal AirtraQ(®).© 2014 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
