Abstract
|
|
|
|
Retrograde intubation is an alternative option for gaining airway access for patients with a difficult airway.We report a successful management of a kinked J-tip guidewire within a tracheal lumen with flexible fiberoptic laryngoscope in a patient with type II odontoid fracture.It is helpful to adjusting the depth of angiocatheter and handling of J-tip guidewire if J-tip guidewire does not come out into the oral cavity at the expected length during retrograde intubation.
