ABSTRACT
The Trachway is a new device which provides better glottic view than conventional direct laryngoscopy during tracheal intubation. This intubating stylet consists of a camera on the distal tip of the style, with a monitor attached to the rechargeable handle, so that it can overcome the difficulty of limited neck motion and mouth opening in tracheal intubation. We present here a 54-year-old man with ankylosing spondylitis, scheduled to undergo total hip replacement. Pre-operative airway assessment revealed a recognized difficult airway. The Trachway was successfully used for oral tracheal intubation at the first attempt. The Trachway can be an alternative choice for intubation in ankylosing spondylitis patients.
