To the Editor In reference to the recent publication by Safi et al regarding rapid sequence induction and intubation in a patient with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), I would like to congratulate the authors on a successful outcome. Also, I would like to suggest that, rather than mask ventilation after induction of anesthesia, consideration be given to awake fiber-optic oral/nasal intubation, as directed by the preoperative assessment, to establish the airway in patients with HHT undergoing elective procedures. Rapid sequence induction and emergency tracheostomy, in that order, could then be further on in the difficult airway algorithm, if needed, as in this case.
