Retrograde nasotracheal intubation with a new tracheal tube: a feasibility study.
We have assessed the feasibility of retrograde nasotracheal intubation using a flexometallic tracheal tube with a detachable pilot balloon and connector in a study of 20 consecutive adult patients undergoing oropharyngeal surgery. The technique consisted of: (1) laryngoscope-guided orotracheal intubation; (2) insertion of an 18-gauge Foley catheter through the nose and retraction into the mouth...
متن کاملNasotracheal intubation using the Airtraq® optical laryngoscope in patients with a difficult airway.
To the Editor, We were interested in a recently published case report describing application of the Airtraq optical laryngoscope (Airtraq) for nasotracheal intubation (NTI) in a patient with a predicted difficult airway who was undergoing oral surgery. The authors are to be congratulated on their successful airway management in this challenging case. However, topical anesthesia was performed on...
متن کاملTracheal tube cuff inflation as an aid to blind nasotracheal intubation.
We have assessed the efficacy of tracheal tube cuff inflation in the oropharynx as an aid to blind nasotracheal intubation in 20 ASA I and II patients undergoing elective oral surgery. The trachea was intubated once using the technique of tracheal tube cuff inflation in the oropharynx and once keeping the tracheal tube cuff deflated throughout the manoeuvre. With the cuff deflated, intubation w...

Case report: Severe burn injuries are associated with significant pathologic changes in nearly all of organ systems, among them are facial and airway injuries. Thus, one of the important points is airway management in head and facial burn injuries which lead to difficult or impossible tracheal intubation in these patients. In this study we introduce a 37 year-old man, who was burned with ele...
متن کاملCuff inflation to aid nasotracheal intubation using the C-MAC videolaryngoscope.
A preliminary report is presented of a technique for using the C-MAC videolaryngoscope to carry out nasopharyngeal intubations. The main thrust of the technique is that cuff inflation of the endotracheal tube is used to lift the endotracheal tube off the posterior pharyngeal wall and thus direct it towards the glottis. The technique was used successfully in 5 consecutive patients needing nasotr...
