Retrograde tracheal intubation using the S-guide intubation guide after emergent tracheotomy: A case report

Clin Case Rep. 2024 Aug 14;12(8):e9294. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.9294. eCollection 2024 Aug.

Abstract

Retrograde intubation is an historic technique that is now rarely used in difficult airway situations. Although not originally designed for this purpose, the use of an S-guide is a feasible option to aid retrograde intubation because of its malleable rigid body and atraumatic tip.

Keywords: airway management; anesthesia; difficult intubation; retrograde intubation.
