Transtracheal ventilation in oral surgery
Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
|September 1, 1983
Abstract:
The use of transtracheal ventilation as a routine method of ventilation during anaesthesia for 60 patients with gross pathology requiring oral surgery is reported. Theoretical hazards of the technique and protection of the airway are discussed. There were no serious complications in this series. The technique is recommended as a simple and safe alternative to blind nasal intubation.
