ABSTRACT

A 63-year-old male with a surgical history and suspected tracheal stenosis underwent video laryngoscopy, revealing a tracheal ring. A 6.5 mm endotracheal tube was successfully placed without complications. This case underscores the importance of personalized airway strategies, including videolaryngoscopy, downsized tube selection, and cuff pressure monitoring.
