Submental Intubation in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery – A Prospective Clinical Study. An Anesthetic Challenge
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Medicine is a fast developing science and progress has helped improve patient comfort and safety. Surgeries involving the maxillofacial region are traditionally done using nasal or oral endotracheal intubation. Surgical repair of the maxillofacial region requires modification of the standard anesthetic technique, as these procedures present a unique set of problems both for the anesthetist and for the surgeon.

متن کاملEvaluation of safety and usefulness of submental intubation in panfacial trauma surgery
OBJECTIVES Submental intubation has been advocated as an alternative to classical tracheostomy for certain indicated panfacial trauma surgeries. Surgeons should have various options for airway management in maxillofacial trauma patients. Most maxillofacial injuries involve occlusal derangements, which might require intraoperative occlusal corrections; hence, orotracheal intubation is not ideal....
متن کاملSubmental intubation in patients with panfacial fractures: A prospective study
Submental intubation is an interesting alternative to tracheostomy, especially when short-term postoperative control of airway is desirable with the presence of undisturbed access to oral as well as nasal airways and a good dental occlusion. Submental intubation with midline incision has been used in 10 cases from October 2008 to March 2010 in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, M...
