Patients with head- and neck injuries can have challenging airways. We often use videolaryngoscopes or flexible fibrescopes (single use scope) when performing intubation in such patients.

Our colleagues in Copenhagen have put together a useful website with videos and other learning resources on that subject. They also arrange an annual  two-day airway course with a very extensive workshop. Read more here.

For other airway tips, listen to Scott Weingart and his podcast Rapid Sequence Awake – An awake intubation update (july 29, 2016).
