Fibreoptic bronchoscopic nasotracheal intubation of a neonate with Pierre Robin syndrome

Abstract

A case of nasotracheal intubation using a fibreoptic bronchoscope and the Seldinger technique is described. A guide wire was passed through the suction channel of the fibrescope after the epiglottis and the vocal cords were seen; the fibrescope was removed and a nasotracheal tube passed over the wire into the trachea.
