Airway management in maxillofacial surgery is a critical aspect of anesthesia and perioperative care, demanding a broad array of techniques to ensure effective ventilation and oxygenation. The anatomical and physiological complexities of maxillofacial procedures necessitate a deep understanding of airway management strategies. Patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery often face heightened risks of airway compromise due to trauma, congenital abnormalities, or the surgical interventions themselves, requiring clinicians to be proficient in both routine and advanced techniques.

Background: Evaluate the possibility of retromolar intubation for general anesthesia in patients with maxillofacial fractures.
Methods: The medical records of 54 patients with maxillofacial fractures who visited the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of Nantong First People's Hospital from January 2020 to August 2022 were collected. The retromolar areas of each patient were measured from the coronal CT images, and correlated with the patient's age, sex, type of fracture (i.

Introduction: In conventional practice for retromolar intubation, endotracheal tube (ET) is bent. This leads to compression of the inner diameter of the tube which in turn reduces airflow. Furthermore, conventionally ETs are stabilised in position using inflated tracheal cuff.

Background: Anesthesia for tracheal tumor resection is challenging, particularly in patients with a difficult upper airway. We report a case of a difficult upper airway with a metastatic tracheal tumor causing near-total left bronchial obstruction and requiring emergency tracheostomy and venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) support for rigid bronchoscopy-assisted tumor resection.
Case Summary: A 41-year-old man with a history of right retromolar melanoma treated by tumor excision and myocutaneous flap reconstruction developed progressive dyspnea on exertion and syncope episodes.
