Abstract:
Missing and loose central incisors pose a great difficulty to anaesthesiologists during laryngoscopy and intubation. Left head rotation is a novel technique which facilitates intubation by improving the laryngoscopic view. We report the use of this technique in two patients with missing or loose central incisors to prevent dental trauma.

1.2K
Endotracheal or ET intubation is a critical medical procedure used to secure a patient's airway, often in acute respiratory distress, apnea, upper airway obstruction, ineffective clearance of secretions, high risk for aspiration, or during general anesthesia.
The ET tube comprises various components, including a standard adaptor to attach a bag-valve-mask (BVM) or ventilator, a cuff, a pilot balloon, and radiopaque markings along its length to measure the insertion distance. The tube sizes...
