Abstract
|
|
|
|
Airway management is a critical component of surgeries requiring general anesthesia. Patients with a history of occipitocervical fusion pose unique challenges due to restricted cervical mobility, potentially leading to intubation difficulties. Consequently, airway management in such patients demands a high level of expertise. This study aims to report our experiences with awake bronchoscopic nasal intubation as a precautionary strategy for airway management in patients with anticipated airway difficulties and highlight risk-mitigation measures.
