“…Case 2 in this group underwent emergency tracheotomy, and the patient's dyspnea was relieved. Because of the rich blood vessels in the maxillofacial region and the large blood vessels, the fierce bleeding after injury can easily lead to hemorrhagic shock [11]. At this time, the bleeding point should be identified quickly and clamped or sutured to stop the bleeding.…”

Background: The severe maxillofacial injuries often involves multiple systems and locations, requiring multiple surgical specialties to participate in injury assessment, emergency surgery and follow-up planned staged surgery, thus requiring the participation and guidance of a multidisciplinary team. This study explores the treatment effect of this model on patients with severe maxillofacial trauma, so as to better promote the standard of severe maxillofacial trauma treatment, aiming to establish a scientific and standardized system of severe trauma treatment. Method: We retrospectively analyzed the treatment process of 173 patients with severe maxillofacial trauma, including timely, orderly, and efficient out-of-hospital emergency treatment. Maxillofacial surgery led the in-hospital treatment, and coordinated with other disciplines to relieve respiratory obstruction, control bleeding, correct shock and save lives. We summarized the experience in the treatment of jaw fracture reduction and internal fixation after the condition was stable. Result: With the specialist treatment and close multidisciplinary cooperation, the treatment effect was good, and the reduction and internal fixation of jaw fractures had achieved satisfactory results. Conclusion: Multidisciplinary coordinated emergency treatment of severe maxillofacial trauma is an effective measure to improve the success rate of treatment.

“…This technique has been described in the literature and can safely allow for evaluation of the airway and placement of the tracheal tube beyond any tracheal defects. [3][4][5] In this technique, rapid sequence induction is followed by standard laryngoscopy and insertion of a bronchoscope through the larynx to rapidly evaluate for the presence of injury or blood below the vocal cords. The bronchoscope tip is placed distal to the injury, and a tracheal tube is then inserted over the bronchoscope.…”

“…An alternative and viable option in the emergency setting is to perform a “rapid-sequence” flexible scope (formerly known as fiberoptic ) intubation. This technique has been described in the literature and can safely allow for evaluation of the airway and placement of the tracheal tube beyond any tracheal defects 3–5 . In this technique, rapid sequence induction is followed by standard laryngoscopy and insertion of a bronchoscope through the larynx to rapidly evaluate for the presence of injury or blood below the vocal cords.…”
