E-mail: joana.berger-estilita@insel.ch INTRODUCTION Anaesthetists are considered experts in difficult airway management. It is however recognized that many trainees have insufficient exposure to difficult airways during their clinical training.1 According to the Practice Guidelines for Management of Difficult Airway from the ASA,2 an awake intubation with a flexible bronchoscope should be attempted first, whenever a difficult airway is anticipated. Therefore, trainees should be autonomous in the successful use of a fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) when faced with difficult airway management. In this paper, a strategy for teaching fibreoptic intubation to trainees will be discussed. |
