RESUMO
A method of blind nasal intubation, using a muscle relaxant, has been described. The method is recommended in the absence of upper respiratory tract obstruction. If the anaesthesiologist does not have enough courage to administer a relaxant in the presence of ankylosis of the jaw, he can induce anaesthesia by an inhalational agent and if obstruction is not detected a muscle relaxant can safely be given to make intubation more easy and less traumatic.
