Blind intubation device for nasotracheal intubation in 100 oral and maxillofacial surgery patients with anticipated difficult airways: a prospective e

The authors have demonstrated the safe and effective use of the blind intubation device in 100 adult patients with anticipated difficult airways. The overall success rates of the oesophagus airway placement, the light–guiding catheter insertion and nasotracheal intubation over the light–guiding catheter were really satisfied. This technique could improve the success of blind nasal intubation, especially in situations in which fibreoptic equipment was unavailable. However, further studies are still required.
