Abstract
Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope is a delicate instrument that can get damaged due to improper handling. Once damaged, this costly instrument becomes useless. We reported a case in which we used a damaged flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope in overcoming a difficulty in advancing the endotracheal tube after visualization of the vocal cord with TruviewPCD in a patient with cervical spine injury.
