“…At later stage, soft tissue changes are similar to those found in the aging face and are generally perceived as unaesthetic. Simple solution is to switch from nasal to oral intubation (change of technique) intra-operatively [17,18]. Merocel (polyvinyl acetyl sponge) may be used to prevent alar pressure during prolonged nasal intubation [19].…”

“…Multiple creative methods of switching from naso-to orotracheal intubation without actual extubation have also been described. [43][44][45] None of these maneuvers is ideal because they all interrupt the surgical procedure and risk the loss of a previously secure airway. As a result, many surgeons advocate tracheostomy before correcting extensive panfacial fractures.…”

“…After completion of internal fixation of jaw fractures and release of maxillomandibular fixation, the patient is nasally extubated and reintubated orally. Multiple creative methods of switching from naso- to orotracheal intubation without actual extubation have also been described 434445. None of these maneuvers is ideal because they all interrupt the surgical procedure and risk the loss of a previously secure airway.…”

Airway management in patients with maxillofacial trauma is complicated by injuries to routes of intubation, and the surgeon is frequently asked to secure the airway. Airway obstruction from hemorrhage, tissue prolapse, or edema may require emergent intervention for which multiple intubation techniques exist. Competing needs for both airway and surgical access create intraoperative conflicts during repair of maxillofacial fractures. Postoperatively, edema and maxillomandibular fixation place the patient at risk for further airway compromise.

“…The submental intubation requires oral intubation first followed by taking out of proximal end of ETT with the pilot balloon through a surgically created opening in submental space near the inner aspect of mandible. [234] The bony spur is an abnormal growth of bone that commonly involves the bones of limbs and spine but may affect the bone of the nose. It may be diagnosed with a complete physical examination of the nose with a thorough history and few investigations such as x-ray, CT scan, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of head and neck region.…”
