They left out the “awake” fiber optic portion of the answer. I think that’s where a lot of people got messed up. And two anesthesia providers available for elective awake fiber optic intubation because it can literally require two people who know what they are doing.

Yes the safe thing to do is to postpone the procedure. This is where pat clinic or some type of properties evaluation is helpful.
