title: [Orotracheal intubation in unstable cervical part of the spine: an alternative approach].
abstract: A case with a difficult intubation of the trachea in a patient with anterior dislocation of C(VI) vertebra and unstable cervical portion of the spine is described. A special Bullard fiberoptic laryngoscope was effectively used in this patient for orotracheal intubation. Use of this laryngoscope is a good alternative to other methods of tracheal intubation in patients with injuries and unstable cervical portion of the spine.
