RESUMO
We present a case of a patient with severe multiple trauma who was treated at the scene by a physician-staffed trauma life support team. Due to a complete tracheal transection, a "cannot ventilate, cannot intubate"-situation occurred. The patient was then intubated using a fiberoptic bronchoscope in the prehospital setting. The current literature concerning fiberoptic intubation in emergencies is discussed.
