We describe the management of a patient with predicted difficult tracheal intubation after failed<br />
awake fibreoptic intubation. Anaesthesia was induced with propofol and ventilation controlled by<br />
means of the Hayek Oscillator, a high frequency cuirass ventilator, without tracheal intubation. The<br />
patient underwent uneventful laser debulking of his massive pharyngeal tumour to establish a clear<br />
airway.<br />
