Abstract
Flexible fibreoptic intubation offers options of airway control in awake and asleep patients, in cases with limited or absent mouth opening and complex anatomy. It may be used as a first choice or a rescue technique. Despite its limitations, for example in situations with significant airway blood or secretions, and airway obstruction, it is a valuable core skill for every anaesthetist.
