AI Article Synopsis
- Nasotracheal intubation is crucial for anesthesia in intraoral and mandibular surgeries but can be difficult, sometimes requiring initial oral intubation.
- Various techniques exist for converting an oral endotracheal tube (ETT) to a nasal ETT, but these can be challenging and depend on available resources.
- This report reviews traditional conversion methods and introduces a new approach that utilizes commonly available equipment in the operating room to simplify the process.
Article Abstract
Nasotracheal intubation is an essential component of anesthetic management for intraoral and mandibular surgeries. Direct nasotracheal intubation can occasionally be difficult and require an initial oral endotracheal tube (ETT) placement with subsequent conversion to a nasal ETT. Numerous techniques have been described. However, execution can be challenging and limited by available resources. This report re-examines conventional oral to nasal ETT conversion techniques and describes another innovative approach utilizing equipment more readily available in the operating room or as an option when difficulty is encountered with conventional conversion techniques.
