Intubation processes of patients under general anesthesia are important in terms of patient morbidity and mortality. The cervical region has also anatomical and physiologic speciality in which stability of the general condition of the patient during this intubation process. The cervical region needs to be manipulated very carefully due to respiratory center, cardiovascular balance and neurological integrity. During general anesthesia, the patient will be under the effect of muscle relaxant and especially the cervical region becomes vulnerable to trauma. The intubations made by affecting the cervical region as little as possible change the morbidity and mortality. Intubation with fiberoptic bronchoscopy and videolaryngoscopy has reduced the complications that other methods can cause. Awake intubation with fiberoptic bronchoscopy and videolaryngoscopy is important for neurological evaluation during the procedure. In this study, we aimed to compare awake intubation by videolaringoscopy and fiberotic bronchoscopy in patients with intubation difficulties due to restriction of neck movements in cervical surgery.
