Airway management and anaesthesia in maxillofacial trauma
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Maxillofacial trauma forms a major part of patients attending emergency department because of the frequency and abundant occurrence. Management of airway is pivotal due to distorted anatomy, urgency of establishing airway and proximity of surgical field. This prospective longitudinal clinical study was done in AJ Institute Of Medical Sciences and Research Centre between January 2017 and December 2017. 100 between the age group of 20 to 60years of both the sexes were included in this study. The patients were intubated considering the distorted anatomy of the airway, oropharyngeal bleeding, stability of the cervical spine and the results were tabulated. The techniques included oral and nasal intubation, fibreoptic and rapid sequence induction. This study gives an insight towards the importance to the techniques of securing the airway in maxillofacial trauma cases.
