“…Our recent experience has confirmed the usefulness of flexible bron-choscopic instruments in readily performing difficult nasotracheal intubations. 4 Local anesthesia is applied in the manner described above to the nose and pharynx. The naso-tracheal tube is placed transnasally in the nasopharynx and the bronchoscope is advanced through the tube.…”

ABSTRACT.Flexible fiberoptic endoscopy of the respiratory tract is a relatively new technique. It is essential that endoscopists and head and neck surgeons develop facility with this instrument. The technique of transnasal flexible laryngobronchoscopy is described. Unique applications are illustrated. Diagnostic and therapeutic uses include differentiation of benign from malignant neoplasms, diagnosis of respiratory inflammatory disease and facilitation in endotracheal intubation.

“…During the early 1970s, proprietary fibreoptic bronchoscopes 10,11 , as well as purpose-made, flexible fibreoptic laryngoscopes [12][13][14] , began to be used widely for endotracheal intubation in both awake and anaesthetised patients. Reporting a series of 100 patients, including 34 with severe anatomical abnormalities, Catherine Stiles and colleagues from the University of Southern California…”
