Submental Intubation in Maxillofacial Surgery–A Case Report and Review of Literature
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Abstract: Submental intubation is a viable alternative to tracheostomy in patients with serious panfacial or other complex maxillofacial injuries were airway management is important. Submental intubation gives the ease of operation to the surgeon and the anaesthetist as the occlusion is an important guide for maxillofacial fixation. Patients in whom the nasal or the oro tracheal intubation possesses surgical difficulty can prefer submental intubation. We are presenting a case where we avoided tracheostomy in a patient with panfacial fracture and opted for submental intubation, along with review of literature.
