    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medicine
    • Anesthesiology
    • Respiratory Medicine

    Background:

    • Tracheal intubation is a critical procedure for airway management.
    • Blind nasotracheal intubation offers an alternative intubation method.
    • Assessing the efficacy of blind nasotracheal intubation is important for clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the success rate of blind nasotracheal intubation in nonapneic patients.
    • To identify the primary indications for tracheal intubation in the studied population.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective study was conducted on 150 nonapneic patients requiring tracheal intubation.
    • Blind nasotracheal intubation was performed as the primary intubation technique.
    • Success rates and indications for intubation were recorded.

    Main Results:

    • The overall success rate for blind nasotracheal intubation was 92% (138 out of 150 patients).
    • Primary indications included drug overdose (36%), head injury (24%), COPD (12%), cerebrovascular accident (10%), and congestive heart failure (7%).

    Conclusions:

    • Blind nasotracheal intubation is a highly effective technique for airway management in nonapneic patients.
    • The procedure is indicated for a range of conditions, including overdose, trauma, and respiratory failure.
