Nasotracheal intubating skills

A survey of nasotracheal intubating skills among Advanced Trauma Life Support course graduates.

The American College of Surgeons' Advanced Trauma Life Support procedure teaches that blind nasotracheal intubation should be performed in the presence of a suspected or proven cervical spine injury in an unconscious but breathing patient who requires an artificial airway. We studied a group of non-anaesthetically trained graduates of the Advanced Trauma Life Support course and examined their s...

Nasotracheal Fiberoptic Intubation: Patient Comfort, Intubating Conditions and Hemodynamic Stability During Conscious Sedation with Different Doses of Dexmedetomidine

The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of two doses of dexmedetomidine for sedation during awake fiberoptic intubation (AFOI). The study was designed in a prospective, randomized, double-blinded manner and carried out in an academic medical university. Forty young co-operative patients aged 15-45 years of either sex belonging to ASA class I-II, planned for elective maxillo-facial surgery forme...
