[Estimation of tracheal intubation methods in patients with pathology of maxillofacial region]
Abstract:
In 42 patients with pathology of face cranium tracheal intubation was performed by different methods--intubation with artificial jet high frequency lung ventilation (I+AJHFV) and fiber optic intubation (FOI). It was established that more favourable conditions for intubation were created when I+AJHFV was used. FOI with preserved consciousness and spontaneous breathing in patients with pathology of maxillofacial region reduces the time factor significance but demands significant sedative preparation of the patient.
