Abstract
|
|
|
Blind nasotracheal intubation with preformed tube has been attempted in 20 conscious young male scheduled for surgical reduction of mandibular fracture. The patient was premedicated in the usual fashion with glycopyrrolate-midazolam-fentanyl.
Airway
anesthesia was performed with topical lidocaine; Nasopharyngeal and translaryngeal.
Of the 20 patients in whom intubation was performed, 12 (60%) required one to three attempts, 6 (30%) required four to six, and only two failures occurred.
Contrary to our expectation, this procedure met with almost positive acceptance by the patients in the series, and the surgical staff had no adverse criticism. In addition to the effectiveness and ease of learning, this technique is simple and
free
from
major morbidity.
