Dental injury during endotracheal intubation is a significant issue, accounting for many anaesthetic claims. Pre-operative dental assessments and protective measures can help reduce this complication.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Dental Medicine

Background:

  • Dental injury is a frequently cited, yet understudied, complication of endotracheal intubation.
  • This type of damage represented one-third of anaesthetic claims between 1977 and 1986.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the extent and nature of dental injuries from endotracheal intubation.
  • To identify predisposing factors and current prophylactic measures.
  • To recommend strategies for reducing the incidence of dental injury.

Main Methods:

  • Review of anaesthetic literature and claims data.
  • Analysis of predisposing factors for dental damage.
  • Evaluation of existing prophylactic interventions.

Main Results:

  • Dental injury is a substantial problem with significant claim implications.
  • Awareness and specific prophylactic measures are key to reducing incidence.

Conclusions:

  • Routine pre-operative dental checks are recommended for patients undergoing endotracheal intubation.
  • Specialized dental evaluations and interventions (e.g., mouthguards) may be necessary for high-risk patients.
  • Cost-benefit analysis is required for widespread implementation of proposed measures.
