This can create a disconnect between the quality of the laryngoscopic view and the ease of performing endotracheal intubation.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>Awake fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation remains the gold standard in cases of difficult intubation with difficult ventilation criteria and nonstandard positioning.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>Several scientific societies recommend videolaryngoscopy as the first-line approach for difficult intubations in the absence of difficult ventilation criteria. Nonetheless, the absence of such criteria does not guarantee effective ventilation following anesthetic induction, which necessitates the use of the laryngeal mask as a secondary measure to ensure oxygenation. The LMA Fastrach can facilitate the subsequent intubation process, particularly in situations where the stomach is not full.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>We chose the LMA Fastrach to ensure optimal ventilation for the patient.
