The correct teaching of technical skills is fundamental to ensure patient safety. According to the Practice Guidelines for Management of Difficult Airway from the ASA, an awake intubation with a flexible bronchoscope should be attempted first, whenever a difficult airway is anticipated. Therefore, trainees should be autonomous in the successful use of a fiberoptic bronchoscope when faced with difficult
airway management. This paper describes an educational proposal for teaching fibreoptic intubation to trainees. Such a strategy can be used in hospitals that do resident training. A few conceptual frameworks behind this strategy will be discussed first, followed by an instructional checklist to guide the trainee in the procedure, without risking patient safety.
