title: [Sevoflurane in airway management using fibrobronchoscopy: apropos of 2 difficult orotracheal intubation cases].
abstract: We report two cases of difficult orotracheal intubation in which intubation with a fiberoptic bronchoscope was performed after induction with an inhalational anesthetic. Mild inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane was started fairly rapidly, with no respiratory incidences. The tubes were then inserted through a fiberoptic bronchoscope, with no airway management problems.
