Summary

Awake fibreoptic intubation (AFOI) is a classic and standard method for some special patients which is also difficult for anesthesiologists to learn and master. The procedure is sometimes hard and often takes about 20-30 min. Most of patients have a strong sense of discomfort. Investigators conducted the research to study the simplification and feasibility of AFOI.

PROCEDURE

Awake fiberoptic intubation (AFOI)

With forty patients (ASA I\~II, aged 18\~75, simulating cervical instability injury) recruited to be operated on under general anesthesia, two experienced anesthesiologists performed the whole procedures within the study. Pre anesthetic interview was taken to illustrate the procedures of tracheal intubation to the patients. The simplified method consisted of three parts: conscious sedation, regional anesthesia and intubation. The time of AFOI, rate of one-time intubation success, hemodynamic parameters, pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2), rate of amnesia of the intubation, patients' satisfaction, and relative complications were recorded accordingly.
