Abstract
In recent years, there have been many advances using ultrasound to visualize the airway and related structures. Airway regional techniques are essentially used for providing airway anesthesia for Awake Direct Laryngoscopy or Fibro-Optic Intubation. The three major neural supplies to the airway are: Trigeminal, Glossopharyngeal and Vagus. Blocking these individual nerves usually provide more profound anesthesia than simple local anesthetic (LA) topicalization and will reduce the total dose
