Abstract
We present three patients with traumatic injuries associated neurological symptoms and cervical spine. All intubations were assisted with fiber bronchoscope, without removing the cervical collar and patients remained awake. All patients were examined again after intubation with no evidence of worsening of their neurological symptoms. We can conclude that the fiberoptic assisted intubation has several advantages in the care of these patients.
