LEMA F, Eduardo et al. Guidelines for intubation under fiberoptic bronchoscopy in a University Hospital. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2012, vol.40, n.1, pp.60-66. ISSN 0120-3347.  https://doi.org/10.1016/S0120-3347(12)70011-4.

Introduction: The use of fiberoptic bronchoscopy as a tool for tracheal intubation is relatively new in our setting. Its availability has been increasing, and hence the need for anesthetists to receive adequate training in the use of this device. Knowledge and mastery of this technique, following all the necessary steps, is the starting point for the successful performance of a procedure. Objective: These guidelines describe the technique for intubation using the fiberoptic bronchoscope at the Evaristo García University Hospital of the Colombian Department of Valle. Methodology: This paper is based on a review of the literature, the authors' experience, and a discussion forum. Results: Presentation of the guidelines for intubation using fiber optic bronchoscope at the Evaristo García University Hospital. Description of the technique for constructing a mask for patient ventilation during tracheal intubation under fiberoptic bronchoscopy.

Keywords : Airway management; intubation; ventilation; Guideline.
