Anesthetic and Operative Management of Potential Upper Airway Obstruction

Parapharyngeal Abscess: A Model of Continuity and Contiguity Deep-Neck Space Infections: A Diagnostic Dilemma!

“…Moreover, 52 % of PPA patients had concomitant PTA, which stresses the common tonsillar origin of these infections. This association seems much higher in this study than previously documented [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. The frequent co-existence of PPA and PTA is not only interesting in terms of the pathogenesis of PPA, but may also give rise to therapeutic considerations as both abscesses ought to be drained for optimal recovery.…”

Anaesthetic Challenges in a Case of Oral Carcinoma With Anticipated Difficult Airway Posted for Tumour Excision and Reconstruction Surgery

“…In light of these issues, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive examination and to make preparations for a difficult airway device, which may include an invasive airway approach. Airway management in oral cancer patients is often achieved via the nasal route using general anaesthesia (GA) induction with or without a muscle relaxant [ 13 ]. This is due to the fact that the majority of individuals with the disease are recalcitrant.…”

Airway Management of Patients Undergoing Oral Cancer Surgery: A Retrospective Analysis of 156 Patients

“…Airway management in oral cancer patients can be mostly done with GA induction with or without a muscle relaxant through the nasal route as most patients are non-cooperative (13). Although performing a surgical airway in a conscious patient is occasionally necessary, the safest plan for most cases of anticipated airway difficulty is to perform tracheal intubation in conscious patients under topical anaesthesia (14).…”
