Successful awake video-laryngoscopic intubation in a patient with a giant mobile vocal process granuloma causing dynamic glottic obstruction: A case report
Awake VL-guided intubation can be a safe and effective alternative to FOB for managing critical airways caused by giant, mobile vocal process granulomas. This technique offers continuous visualization, facilitates safer tube advancement, and reduces the risk of trauma and highlights the importance of integrating multidisciplinary collaboration and meticulous preinduction planning to optimize airway management.
