ABSTRACT
The management of a difficult airway is one of the biggest challenges of perioperative anesthesia management. The maxillofacial trauma can cause serious disturbances of the soft and hard tissues of the anatomical components of the upper airway and often with little external evidence of deformity. The submental intubation is a procedure that was reported to avoid tracheostomy and allow for the concomitant restoration of occlusion and reduction of facial fractures in patients with craniomaxillofacial trauma ineligibles for nasotracheal intubation. We described a modification of the original technique by performing a retrograde submental intubation assisted by direct laryngoscope video in a maxillofacial trauma patient with restricted mouth opening. In addition, the surgical anatomy of the technique is detailed described.
RESUMEN
El manejo de una vía aérea difícil es uno de los mayores desafíos del manejo anestésico perioperatorio. El trauma maxilofacial puede causar serias alteraciones a los tejidos blandos y duros de la vía aérea superior, y muchas veces con pequeña evidencia externa de deformidad. La intubación submentoniana es un procedimiento que fue reportado para evitar la traqueostomía y permitir la concomitante restauración de la oclusión para la reducción de fracturas faciales en pacientes donde la intubación nasotraqueal está contraindicada. Describimos una modificación de la técnica original, realizando una intubación submentoniana retrógrada asistida con videolaringoscopio en un paciente de trauma maxilofacial con apertura de la cavidad disminuida. Adicionalmente se describe detalladamente la anatomía quirúrgica de la técnica.
