This procedure is vital for patients who must remain conscious due to specific medical conditions. Zanlorenzi emphasized thorough preparation, including patient assessment and the use of local anesthesia to ensure comfort. He detailed the selection of appropriate instruments and highlighted the importance of clear communication with the patient throughout the process. Techniques to manage anxiety and ensure airway patency were discussed, alongside strategies for monitoring and adjusting to patient responses to maintain safety and effectiveness during intubation.
