Abstract
The anaesthetist is the physician with the highest degree of expertise in airway management. Blind digital intubation is a technique which only rarely can be regarded as the method of choice to ensure airway. However it provides an alternative which, even when conventional techniques fail, can be life-saving for a patient. Successful performance greatly depends on the anaesthetist's training, experience and skills. Ultrasound is a good tool which can help us learn to use this technique.
