Airway Nerve Blocks in Awake İntubation

Authored by Semih Başkan

Awake intubation is one of the strategies which planned according to situation of the patient, surgical procedure, the skill of the anaesthetist, the patient has difficult airway. Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) is the golden standard for difficult airway patients. Airway reflexes can be removed by performing superior laryngeal nerve block (SLNB) and glossopharyngeal nerve block. Sedation is needed in this procedure to reduce anxiety and adverse events. We report a case that awake intubation assisted with FOB was performed with a bilateral glossopharyngeal nerve block and ultrasound-guided bilateral SLNB who had a difficult airway, scheduled for direct laryngoscopy.
