Rationale: Maxillofacial gunshot injury leads to significant soft tissue and bone defects, which compromise airway patency, thus posing a challenge for the anaesthesiologist. The utility of the videolaryngoscopy-assisted fibreoptic intubation (VAFI) technique in maxillofacial gunshot injury has not yet been described in the literature. Patient Concerns: We report the case of a young male presenting with extensive maxillofacial wounds with fractures of the bilateral maxilla, mandible and floor of orbit secondary to self-inflicted gunshot injury. Diagnosis: Major peri-operative concerns included anticipated difficult airway, control of potential haemorrhage and airway oedema. Treatment: A flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope used in combination with a video laryngoscope was used to successfully secure the airway. Outcome: He was extubated on the same day and discharged after two weeks. Take-Away Lessons: The current case highlights the safe and effective use of the videolaryngoscopy-assisted fibreoptic intubation technique in maxillofacial gunshot injury.

Airway Consideration in Maxillofacial Trauma

Management of airway is the most important concern in critically injured patient with life-threatening injuries for an anesthesiologist as well as primary caregiver as it may distort airway anatomy as well as destabilize the cervical spine. These patients are potentially difficult candidates for mask ventilation and endotracheal intubation. Additionally, these patients are prone to regurgitation as they may have full stomach condition. The requirement of maxillofacial surgery is free access to the oral cavity; thus, securing alternate methods to maintain a safe airway is the primary priority. To improve the clinical outcome of these patients, there should be mutual cooperation between the anesthesiologist, maxillofacial surgeon, and ENT surgeon (for emergency tracheostomy, if needed). In this review, we are discussing primary management in emergency, relevant anatomy, difficulty in securing patent airway, and possible approach for airway management in maxillofacial trauma patients.
