As technology progresses, our clinical treatment options rise steadily. We are comfortable now with the handling of ready-to-use high-quality videolaryngoscopes and fiber optics, and there is increasing knowledge and practice that the combination of these 2 techniques has a high "rescue rate" in situations when fiber-optic intubation or videolaryngoscopic intubation fails. Therefore, we would recommend to specifically include this technique in the "difficult airway algorithm-nonemergency pathway," so it comes routinely into mind when faced with a "can ventilate, but cannot intubate" situation that warrants intubation for the surgical operation.
