Transmylohyoid Intubation in the Management of Maxillofacial Fractures: A case report.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Submental/transmylohyoid intubation in the management of maxillofacial fractures is an alternative for airway management where oro-endotracheal or naso-endotracheal intubation is contraindicated and tracheostomy can be avoided. Submental intubation allowed reduction and fixation of all fractures without the interference of the tube during surgical procedure in all of the patients. There were no intra-operative complications and none of the patients required post-operative ventilation. There were no significant post-operative complications. Submental intubation is a safe and extremely useful procedure in severe maxillofacial injuries. It has a low incidence of operative and post-operative complications. It allows both the surgeon and the anaesthetist to deliver a better quality of patient care.
