Nasogastric Tube as a Rescue Device for Difficult Nasal Intubation in Carcinoma Maxilla
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: Oro-facial tumors with compromised airway require nasotracheal intubation due to difficult oral intubation as well as for better surgical access. Best option is fibrooptic bronchoscopy but fragile tumor mass is a concern and chances of epistaxis and bleed from tumour mass or nasal mucosa are increased. Case Report: We present a case of Ca maxilla where we encountered a difficulty in negotiating the endotracheal tube through the nasal passage. Conclusion: Use of nasogastric tube as a guide for nasotracheal intubation ensures an atraumatic, smooth passage of an ETT through the nasal passage.
