“…The identification of patient characteristics that can guide the clinician in the selection of the appropriate alternative intubation tool therefore remains an active research area. 8,9 The flexible bronchoscope (FB) 10,11 is an appealing option for endotracheal intubation when DL or VL are anticipated to be difficult. The FB presents many potential advantages compared with DL or VL.…”

Purpose Patient characteristics associated with difficult tracheal intubation using a flexible bronchoscope (FB) under general anesthesia have not been prospectively evaluated. This observational study aimed to identify demographic and morphologic factors associated with difficult FB intubation. Methods We recruited 420 adult elective surgery patients undergoing tracheal intubation during general anesthesia. Patients characteristics were recorded including age, sex, weight, height, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status, history of snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, Mallampati score, upper lip bite test score, neck circumference and skinfold thickness, maximal neck flexion and extension angles, absence of teeth, Cormack and Lehane grade, presence of blood or secretions during intubation, as well as the inter-incisor, thyromental, sternothyroid, and manubriomental distances. The time (duration) needed to complete intubation (primary endpoint) and the number of attempts needed were correlated with these patient characteristics in a multivariable analysis. Results Intubation was successful on the first attempt in 409/420 patients (97%). Seven patients (1.7%) needed more than one attempt. Failure to intubate with the FB occurred in four patients (1%). A correlation was found between intubation duration and visibility impaired by secretions or blood (P \ 0.001), higher neck skinfold thickness (P \ 0.001), and larger endotracheal tube diameter (relative to a constant 5.5 mm FB; P \ 0.001). Conclusions The presence of secretions or blood that impair FB glottic visualization, a larger diameter endotracheal tube on the same size FB, as well as higher neck skinfold thickness may prolong the duration of FB intubation under general anesthesia. Trial registration www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02769819); registered 5 May, 2016.

“…The development of fibrescopes was first undertaken for medical purposes during the late 1950s 1 . In 1968, Kensuke Ikeda of Japan introduced flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy into medical practice following the first successful fiberoptic intubation reported by Calder in 1967 2,52 .…”

Airway management is one of the core skills of the anaesthetist and various techniques of airway management have developed over many years. Initially, the only view of the glottis that could be obtained was an indirect view (indirect laryngoscopy). Late in the 19th century, a direct view of the glottis was obtained via various direct laryngoscopes. Currently, in the early 21st century, there has been a return to indirect laryngoscopy via videolaryngoscopy using a videolaryngoscope. The aim of this paper is to give a historical overview of the development of both direct and indirect laryngoscopy.
