Maxillary sinusitis after nasotracheal intubation

T L Pope, C B Stelling, Y B Leitner

    Southern Medical Journal
    |May 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Nasotracheal intubation can cause maxillary sinusitis, a rare complication in ventilated patients. Early diagnosis via Water's view is crucial for managing this potentially serious condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical research
    • Infectious disease
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Nasotracheal intubation is a common procedure for patients requiring ventilatory assistance.
    • Maxillary sinusitis is an uncommon but potentially serious complication associated with this procedure.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of maxillary sinusitis following nasotracheal intubation are presented.
    • One case involved concurrent bacteremia, highlighting the systemic risk.

    Findings:

    • Maxillary sinusitis occurs in approximately 2% of intubated patients.
    • Diagnosis is readily achievable using a portable Water's view of the paranasal sinuses.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for sinusitis in intubated patients.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management can prevent severe outcomes like bacteremia.
    • Awareness of this complication is vital for patient safety in intensive care settings.
