Alternative technique for changing from nasal to oral endotracheal tube for orthognathic and nasal surgery by using an airway exchange catheter: a case report
A 28-year-old male patient with right maxillar, zygomatic arch, orbital wall, and nasal bone fractures had an orthognathic and nasal surgery. Naso-endotracheal intubation is the first choice during surgical correction of dentofacial deformities in an orthognathic surgery; however, its presence can interfere with concomitant surgical procedures on the nose. Traditionally, the naso-endotracheal t...
متن کاملFiberoptic bronchoscope and C-MAC video laryngoscope assisted nasal-oral tube exchange: two case reports
In cases of multiple facial trauma and other specific cases, the anesthesiologist may be asked to convert an oral endotracheal tube to a nasal endotracheal tube or vice versa. Conventionally, the patient is simply extubated and the endotracheal tube is re-inserted along either the oral or nasal route. However, the task of airway management can become difficult due to surgical trauma or worsenin...
متن کاملComparison of endotracheal intubation using direct and video laryngoscopes in the ICU
colleagues [1] demonstrated that, compared with the Macintosh direct laryngoscope (MDL), the C-MAC videolaryngoscope (C-MAC) improved laryngeal view and achieved a higher intubation success rate on first attempt in patients with predictors of difficult intubation in the ICU. In the Materials and methods, however, the authors did not mention what position the patient’s head was placed during lar...
متن کاملHead position and oral vs nasal route as factors determining endotracheal tube resistance.
STUDY OBJECTIVE We performed this in vitro study to determine the following: (1) if there is any significant difference in resistance between comparably sized endotracheal tubes (ETTs) in simulated anatomic oral and nasal conformations: (2) if neck flexion would increase the resistance of the ETT; and (3) if a wire-reinforced tube in simulated oral conformation would minimize the resistance inc...
متن کاملEndotracheal tube exchange and pneumothorax: A case report
Endotracheal intubation and extubation in intensive care unit (ICU) patients are difficult. Extubation will be more worrisome if patient has difficult intubation, sleep apnea, surgical procedure involving airway or surrounding structures. In such extubation airway exchange catheters (AEC) are used, as they are simple to use and able to provide oxygen to the patient. Rarely AEC use can cause pot...
