Abstract
Intubation of the trachea with the patient awake is sound practice, affording protection against inhalation of gastric contents and against cardiovascular collapse. The writer reviews various methods of awake intubation and describes his own, illustrating it with a discussion of 12 seriously ill patients.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
