| Popis: | The advent of a fiberoptic endoscope has made endotracheal intubation feasible in a wide variety of patients who were previously considered for tracheostomy. Patients who pose increased anesthetic risks due to hypomobility of the mandible can be induced and successfully intubated by a skilled operator without incident by any one of the currently accepted fiberoptic techniques. 1–8 Various devices have been designed to facilitate the use of fiberoptic endotracheal intubation. 6,8,9 Many reports have discussed fiberoptic endotracheal intubation, using case reports to exemplify the technique employed, 10–13 but to date none has addressed the specific needs of the oral and maxillofacial surgeon. This article presents 1) the indications for fiberoptic endotracheal intubation in patients undergoing various types of oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2) the intubation technique used with the fiberoptic bronchoscope, and 3) our results in 42 consecutive patients. |
