Clinical effect of mouth floor approach intubation in jaw fracture combined with brain injury

To explore the effects of mouth floor approach intubation in the treatment of jaw fracture combined with skull base injury.

From Jan. 2014 to Oct. 2015, 7 cases of jaw fracture combined with skull base injury were selected from Medical center of Stomatology, Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (FST-CM). All cases were treated with mouth floor approach intubation, because they were not suitable to be given the oral or nasal intubation anesthesia.

All the patients healed well after operation, and there was no tube accident or other complications.

For patients of jaw fracture combined with skull base injury, the mouth floor approach intubation could be recommended as a supplementary choice for traditional intubation methods.
