Submental method for orotracheal intubation in treating facial trauma

Abstract

This procedure is indicated for patients with fractures of maxilla and nose who need surgical intervention under general anesthesia.

Submental intubation: a literature review

“…The most common indication for submental intubation was trauma (N = 721) in 86% of the reported cases followed by elective facial osteotomy (N = 100) in 12% of patients 1,2,4,6,[9][10][11]13,15,17,[19][20][21][22][25][26][27][28][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][49][50][51][52]54 . Transmaxillary cranial base tumour access (N = 18) comprised 2% of patients 13 .…”

“…Additional research is needed to validate various technique modifications aimed at reducing infrequent complications. 9 Retrospective study 3 BIGLIOLI et al 13 Retrospective study 3 CARON et al 15 Retrospective study 3 CAUBI et al 17 Retrospective study 3 CHANDU et al 19 Retrospective study 3 DAVIS 21 Retrospective study 3 GADRE & WAKNIS 25 Retrospective study 3 JÚ NIOR et al 31 Retrospective study 3 NAVANEETHAM et al 41 Retrospective study 3 SCHÜ TZ & HAMED 49 Retrospective study 3 TAGLIALATELA et al 51 Retrospective study 3 BABU et al 11 Case report 4 DROLET et al 22 Case report 4 EIPE et al 23 Case report 4 GORDON & TOLSTUNOV 27 Case report 4 GREEN & MOORE 28 Case report 4 KIM et al 32 Case report 4 KIM et al 33 Case report 4 LANGFORD 34 Case report 4 MACINNIS & BAIG 36 Case report 4 MAK & OOI 38 Case report 4 MANGANELLO-SOUZA et al 39 Case report 4 MEYER et al 40 Case report 4 UMA et al 52 Case report 4 YOON et al 54 Case report 4 CHOI et al 20 Case report 4 NYÁ RÁ DY et al 43 Case report 4 GARG et al 26 Case series 4 SHARMA et al 50 Case series 4 ALTEMIR et al 5 Surgical technique 4 ARYA et al 10 Surgical technique 4 ALTEMIR et al 6 Surgical technique 4 LIM et al 35 Surgical technique 4 MAHMOOD & LELLO 37 Surgical technique 4 NWOKU et al 42 Surgical technique 4 NYÁ RÁ DY et al 44 Surgical technique 4 AHMED & MITCHEL 2 Correspondence 5 BALL et al …”

Transmylohoid/Submental Endotracheal Intubation in Pan-facial Trauma: A Paradigm Shift in Airway Management with Prospective Study of 35 Cases

“…Causes of infection at submental area may be due to trickling of saliva from intraoral wound, poor oral hygiene of the patient and performing intubation in an improper aseptic condition. The morbidity associated with submental tracheal intubation is low [10,[23][24][25].…”

Submental endotracheal intubation in concurrent orthognathic surgery: A technical note

“…Since 1986 Hernandez Altemir himself introduced modifications to his original method (Hernandez Altemir and Hernandez Monotero, 2000Monotero, , 2003. The submental intubation technique was widely recommended for midfacial trauma cases when short-term intermaxillary fixation was needed (Manganello-Souza et al, 1998;Amin et al, 2003;Meyer et al, 2003).…”
