Abstract

We describe three patients with difficult airways in which fiberoptic endotracheal intubation was used to insert breathing tubes into the patients' windpipes. Airway injury occurred during the use of this technique. Although largely a safe technique, care should be exercised when anesthesiologists choose equipment and when they perform this technique.
