Retrograde tracheal intubation using the S‐guide intubation guide after emergent tracheotomy: A case report

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Retrograde intubation is an historic technique that is now rarely used in difficult airway situations. Although not originally designed for this purpose, the use of an S‐guide is a feasible option to aid retrograde intubation because of its malleable rigid body and atraumatic tip.
