We describe the use of awake fibreoptic intubation in the management of a patient with a known difficult airway, who presented with stridor resulting from supraglottic oedema. The aetiological factors contributing to this supraglottic oedema included coexisting thyroid swelling and congestive cardiac failure. Options for appropriate airway management in such cases are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
