Orotracheal Intubation Using the Retromolar Space: A Reliable Alternative Intubation Approach to Prevent Dental Injury
Despite recent advances in airway management, perianesthetic dental injury remains one of the most common anesthesia-related adverse events and cause for malpractice litigation against anesthesia providers. Recommended precautions for prevention of dental damage may not always be effective because these techniques involve contact and pressure exerted on vulnerable teeth. We describe a novel app...
متن کاملRetromolar flexible fiber-optic orotracheal intubation: a novel alternative to nasal intubation and tracheostomy in severe trismus.
Ensuring control and protection of the airway for surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia is the cornerstone of clinical anesthesia practice. Successful tracheal intubation is absolutely needed for head and neck cancer surgery because access to the airway is shared by surgeons and anesthesiologists. The approach, oral or nasal, depends on surgical requirements and the patient’s ability...
متن کاملUnusual Displacement of a Mobilised Dental Bridge during Orotracheal Intubation
Dental trauma during tracheal intubation mostly happens in case of poor dentition, restricted mouth opening, and/or difficult laryngoscopy. 57-year-old man undergoing laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma had his dental work detached at induction of anesthesia. Oropharyngeal direct view, manual inspection, fibreoptic nosendoscopy, tracheobronchoscopy, and...
متن کاملMeasurement of retromolar space dimensions using dental pantomograms for intubation feasibility.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to measure the dimensions of the retromolar space of a patient population. If the dimensions were found to exceed the outside diameters of commonly used tracheal tubes, the results could increase use of the retromolar approach for oral intubation in patients with trismus. METHODS We reviewed 311 dental pantomograms. Retromolar space height was measured...
متن کاملFibreoptic and stylet aided orotracheal intubation: a different approach for the difficult intubation.
To the Editor: We report a technique of orotracheal intubation using the combination of a flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope (FOB) and a stylet in a patient whose operation was postponed initially because of failed intubation. A 44-yr-old male was scheduled for total resection of the thyroid gland. After induction of anesthesia, a laryngeal view was not obtained by direct laryngoscopy. An experie...
