Bilateral superior laryngeal nerve block was combined with topical application of local anesthetic 140 times in 135 patients to anesthetize the upper airway and facilitate tracheal intubation, laryngeal instrumentation or to diminish the response to the endotracheal tube, in a patient already intubated. The technique was successful in 92% of attempts.
