Awake fibreoptic intubation (AFOI) is an established modality in patients with anticipated difficulty with tracheal intubation. This case demonstrates that with careful and meticulous preparations, AFOI can lead to improved airway management and excellent patient outcomes. A 38-year-old woman presented with severe trismus secondary to odentogenous abscess was identified preoperatively as having a potential difficult airway. AFOI was performed successfully using combined Spray-As-You-Go and dexmedetomidine technique.

In difficult airway situations, the next step of the airway management method is selected according to the prior presence of difficulties in mask ventilation and endotracheal intubation. It is important for the practitioner to be calm, quick in judgment, and take action in cases of difficult intubation. Recently, high-flow nasal oxygenation has been rapidly introduced into the anesthesiology field. This technique could extend the safe apnea time to desaturation. Especially, it maintains adequate oxygenation even in apnea and allows time for intubation or alternative airway management. We report two cases in which high-flow nasal oxygenation was implemented in the middle of the induction process after quick judgment by clinicians. High-flow nasal oxygenation was successfully used to assist in prolonging the safe apnea time during delicate airway securing attempts.
