Can Positioning an Oral Endotracheal Tube in the Retromolar Space Allow Maxillomandibular Fixation without Occlusal Interference?

alwin shared this article with you from Inoreader Can Positioning an Oral Endotracheal Tube in the Retromolar Space Allow Maxillomandibular Fixation without Occlusal Interference? Via Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Traumatic maxillofacial injuries requiring maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) traditionally necessitate airway management via tracheostomy or submental intubation. The aim of this study is to understand whether the retromolar space can accommodate passage of a reinforced endotracheal tube (ETT) without interfering with establishing MMF, a technique previously described as retromolar intubation.
