Abstract

Nasotracheal intubation is often indicated in oral and maxillofacial surgical procedures. It allows better use of the oral and intraoral sphere as well as surgical comfort, however, various complications are associated with nasotracheal intubation. We present a case of a complete obstruction of the nasal endotracheal tube by a nasal tissue during blind nasal endotracheal intubation in tumoral oral surgery

Keywords:Nasotracheal intubation; Probe obstruction; Sniff test
