Abstract
The fibreoptic laryngoscope is a difficult instrument to master in anaesthetised patients, and reasons for this are discussed. The use of a pharyngeal guide was shown to provide an acceptable success rate in patients without anatomical deformity. These guides may also be beneficial to those with such deformities.Keywords
