Controversies in the Management of the Airway in Panfacial Fractures: A Literature Review and Algorithm Proposal.

Department Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University Hospital Zürich, 8032 Zürich, Switzerland.
Panfacial fractures are complex fractures involving multiple regions of the facial skeleton and may require multiple surgeries over a relatively short period. They are often associated with polytrauma and other injuries including neurotrauma, which require either immediate (ATLS) airway management, prolonged intubation, or repeated intubations for staged surgeries. The choice of airway for the surgical management of these fractures is difficult, as an assessment of the occlusion is required, and the central nasal complex and/or skull base may be involved, making classical orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation problematic.

- Muscle relaxants like rocuronium can be risky for patients with conditions such as polymyositis, particularly in cases that are not fully controlled.
- This report outlines a case where a 27-year-old woman with controlled polymyositis underwent minor surgery, requiring careful monitoring of her neuromuscular function during and after the use of rocuronium and sugammadex.
- Findings suggest prolonged muscle relaxation effects, attributed to decreased muscle volume in polymyositis patients, highlighting the need for close supervision in such surgical settings.
A comparison of McGrath video laryngoscope and Macintosh laryngoscope during nasotracheal intubation: A randomised controlled study.

Background: Nasotracheal intubation is challenging for anaesthesiologists in faciomaxillary injuries due to the anticipated difficult airways. The effectiveness of a non-channelled McGrath video laryngoscope was compared with a conventional Macintosh laryngoscope during nasotracheal intubation.
Methods: Sixty American Society of Anaesthesiologists I-II patients aged between 18 and 60 years of both sexes undergoing elective faciomaxillary surgeries from September 2019 to February 2020 were prospectively randomised into two groups (Macintosh laryngoscope Group, McGrath video laryngoscope Group) of 30.
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO)-Assisted Tracheostomy in a Patient with a "Woody Neck" Due to Radiation Therapy and Complicated by Bilateral Internal Jugular Vein Occlusion: A Case Report.

Radiation for head and neck cancer (HNC) can lead to neck fibrosis, commonly known as "woody neck", limiting neck mobility. We report the case of a 46-year-old male with a history of tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma, with a "woody neck" following multiple radiation treatments. Facial swelling and impending airway loss prompted emergent intubation.

Dexmedetomidine exerts a sedative effect by promoting the sleep pathway endogenously and producing a state similar to N2 sleep. This study aimed to study the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine nasal spray in the treatment of postoperative sleep disturbance. This study enrolled 120 participants [men and women; age, 18-40 years; American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, I or II] who underwent maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia through nasotracheal intubation.
