Use of retromolar intubation in paediatric maxillofacial trauma.
treatment for a variety of chronic, intractable pain syndromes, with 27 000 stimulators being implanted annually in the USA alone. Known complications are equipment failure, pain in the region of hardware implantation, infection, and rarely haematomas and spinal cord injury, which necessitate timely, targeted interventions. The true incidence of these complications, however, is not known, altho...
متن کاملOrotracheal Intubation Using the Retromolar Space: A Reliable Alternative Intubation Approach to Prevent Dental Injury
Despite recent advances in airway management, perianesthetic dental injury remains one of the most common anesthesia-related adverse events and cause for malpractice litigation against anesthesia providers. Recommended precautions for prevention of dental damage may not always be effective because these techniques involve contact and pressure exerted on vulnerable teeth. We describe a novel app...
متن کاملRetromolar flexible fiber-optic orotracheal intubation: a novel alternative to nasal intubation and tracheostomy in severe trismus.
Ensuring control and protection of the airway for surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia is the cornerstone of clinical anesthesia practice. Successful tracheal intubation is absolutely needed for head and neck cancer surgery because access to the airway is shared by surgeons and anesthesiologists. The approach, oral or nasal, depends on surgical requirements and the patient’s ability...
متن کاملA novel approach to manage patients with compromised airway. Videoscopic assisted retromolar intubation.
Aids to difficult airway management are essential for safe practice of anesthesia particularly for high-risk patients. This case series described a novel approach of combined use of complementing tools (videolaryngeoscopic assisted retromolar intubation) to enhance airway management of a subset of various high-risk patients with extremely difficult airway. It also addressed the rational for the...
متن کاملMeasurement of retromolar space dimensions using dental pantomograms for intubation feasibility.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to measure the dimensions of the retromolar space of a patient population. If the dimensions were found to exceed the outside diameters of commonly used tracheal tubes, the results could increase use of the retromolar approach for oral intubation in patients with trismus. METHODS We reviewed 311 dental pantomograms. Retromolar space height was measured...
