Penetrating injuries to the face and neck are a relatively rare condition that requires immediate airway assessment. In the presence of predictors of a difficult airway, Awake Fiberoptic Intubation (AFI) provides controlled access while preserving spontaneous breathing and protective reflexes. We present the case of a 54-year-old patient with a penetrating mandibular injury caused by an industrial robotic arm. Preclinically, airway management was not performed due to adequate spontaneous breathing. In the trauma room, due to the injury pattern accompanied by severe craniomandibular dysfunction, the decision was made to perform awake fiberoptic intubation in a sitting position. This case demonstrates the feasibility of AFI under challenging conditions, particularly in cases of unknown injury patterns, lack of patient cooperation, and unconventional positioning.
