Use of the flexible bronchoscope and Infrared Red Intubation System in a known difficult airway in the intensive care unit.

ABSTRACT: This case report describes a patient in the ICU in need of urgent intubation, for whom video laryngoscope-guided intubation had previously failed. The Infrared Red Intubation System (IRRIS) may enhance the chance of successful flexible bronchoscope intubation, especially when performed by non-expert anesthesiologists.
