Abstract
Current technique of airway management for impaled knife in the back includes putting the patient in lateral
position and intubation. We present here a novel technique of anesthesia induction (intubation and central line
insertion) in a patient with impaled knife in the back which is simple and easily reproducible. This technique
can be used for single lung ventilation using double lumen tube or bronchial blocker also if desired.
