“…Additionally, the device does not have to pass through the narrow vocal cords, reducing both anesthesiologist and patient distress. 6,8,9 More importantly, the laryngoscopic view provides full visualization of the ETT tip for more controlled and safer advancement into the glottic aperture. It also allows for the identification of any masses remaining after ETT insertion.…”

A 68-year-old patient with a huge dangling vocal papilloma was admitted for surgical resection. Preoperative data regarding the patient’s mass-related symptoms, endoscopic view, and radiological evaluation indicated that airway management would be difficult. Fiberoptic intubation has been considered an ideal primary approach to managing problematic airways, but blind advancement of the endotracheal tube without a clear, consistent view of the mass presents a significant threat to patient safety. This report describes how safe intubation was accomplished while the patient was awake using laryngeal nerve blocks and a McGrath® videolaryngoscope.
