Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: To study the results and outcomes of submental intubation in 34 cases of multiple facial fractures. Material and methods: 34 cases of panfacial fractures were operated between 2014 to 2016. All of them were managed intraoperatively with submental intubation. We review the literature and compare the outcome of submental intubation in our series of cases. Results: All the cases except two were extubated immediate post operatively and had very good outcome. There we faced minor complications in only 2 of the patients. Conclusion: Submental intubation is a safe, effective and appropriate method for panfacial fractures and avoids the need for tracheostomy in such patients.
