Awake Flexible Fiberoptic Bronchoscope Aided Endotracheal Intubation- Anatomico Anesthetic Considerations: A Review
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Awake flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope aided intubation (AFOBI) has revolutionized the ability of the anesthesia provider to safely care for difficult airway management and help prevent associated adverse side effects while dealing with a difficult airway like arterial hypoxemia, hypoventilation, aspiration. The flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) is presently a critical tool available in scenario of anticipated or proved difficult airway. It should also be the first option while dealing with airway in patients with unstable cervical spine fractures. AFOBI enables a patent patient airway and makes tracheal intubation possible without loss of control of patient’s airway.
