Article Synopsis
- Submental intubation is a method that allows an endotracheal tube to be placed through the floor of the mouth, improving surgical access in the mouth and nasal area while maintaining airflow to the lungs.
- The study aimed to assess anaesthetists' perceptions of submental intubation through a questionnaire distributed in Odisha, India, involving 97 participants.
- Results indicated that a majority of anaesthetists were familiar with the technique, reported no complications, and found it a safe alternative to tracheostomy for certain patients with craniofacial trauma, though confidence levels varied among participants.*
