We compared the Enk Fiberoptic Atomizer Set™ with boluses of topical anaesthesia administered via the working channel during awake fibreoptic tracheal intubation in 96 patients undergoing elective surgery. Patients who received topical anaesthesia via the atomiser, compared with boluses via the fibreoptic scope, reported a better median (IQR [range]) level of comfort: 1 (1–3 [1–10]) vs. 4 (2–6 [1–10]),...
We compared awake fibreoptic intubation with awake intubation using the Pentax Airway Scope® in 40 adult patients. Sedation was achieved using a target‐controlled remifentanil infusion of 1–5 ng.ml−1 and midazolam. The airway was anaesthetised with lidocaine spray and gargle. The total procedure time – a composite of sedation time, topical anaesthesia time and intubation time – was recorded. The operator's...
Contemporary data are lacking for procedural practice, training provision and outcomes for awake fibreoptic intubation in the UK. We performed a prospective cohort study of awake fibreoptic intubations at a tertiary centre to assess current practice. Data from 600 elective or emergency awake fibreoptic intubations were collected to include information on patient and operator demographics, technical...
