Under the term of “difficult intubation” we understand a clinical situation in
which an anesthesiologist has faced certain difficulties performing 2-3 attempts
of intubation and lung ventilation that took between 5 to 10 minutes. Difficult
intubation in everyday practice has an incidence of 3 to 18%. Among obstetrical
patient’s difficult intubation happens in 7.9% of cases and is the cause of maternal
death in 41% of cases.
In this article we will discuss alternative methods of safe lung ventilation in the
absence of a videolaringoscope or a fiberoptic bronchoscope.
