Abstract

Nasotracheal intubation is an essential component of anesthetic management for intraoral and mandibular surgeries. Direct nasotracheal intubation can occasionally be difficult and require an initial oral endotracheal tube (ETT) placement with subsequent conversion to a nasal ETT. Numerous techniques have been described. However, execution can be challenging and limited by available resources. This report re-examines conventional oral to nasal ETT conversion techniques and describes another innovative approach utilizing equipment more readily available in the operating room or as an option when difficulty is encountered with conventional conversion techniques.

经口至鼻气管内插管交换:改进以使“旧连接器”技术更广泛的适用性-一个病例报告。

鼻气管插管是口腔内和下颌骨手术麻醉管理的重要组成部分。直接鼻气管插管有时会很困难，需要先置入口腔气管内插管，然后再转为鼻腔气管内插管。已经描述了许多技术。然而，执行可能具有挑战性，并且受到可用资源的限制。本报告重新研究了传统的口腔到鼻腔ETT转换技术，并描述了另一种创新方法，利用手术室中更容易获得的设备，或者在传统转换技术遇到困难时作为一种选择。

期刊介绍： A & A Case Reports, our new online journal publishing Case Reports, related Editorial Commentary, and Correspondence. Anesthesia & Analgesia 1 and Anesthesiology 2 recently announced that they were suspending publication of Case Reports. One reason is that Case Reports typically reduce the Impact Factor of a journal because they are rarely cited. Regardless of the merits of Impact Factor as a metric of journal worth, journals and their editors necessarily consider Impact Factor in strategic planning. At the same time, Case Reports are appreciated by readers for describing “real life” management of difficult or unusual cases not often encountered by practitioners. In a recent issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia, Steven Shafer1 identified many Case Reports whose publication launched productive careers dedicated to solving the puzzle posed by an unusual observation in a single patient.
