Abstract:
On the basis of the clinical material of the I Department of Faciomaxillary Surgery, Silesian Medical Academy in Zabrze covering a period of 10 years the authors discuss the problem of respiratory disturbances developing in patients after faciomaxillary injuries associated, sometimes, with injuries to other organs. Among 3706 patients with these injuries in 29 cases it was necessary, due to respiratory disturbances, to ensure first the patency of airways, in 26 cases tracheotomy was done and in 3 cases prolonged intubation was applied.
