어려운 기도에서 굴곡성 기관지경을 사용한 경비 기관내삽관 시 효과적인 비출혈 제거 —증례보고— = Effective removal of epistaxis during nasotracheal intubation utilizing a fiberoptic scope in a difficult airway −A case report−

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Nasal bleeding related to nasal trauma is the most common complication of nasotracheal intubation with a fiberoptic scope. When nasotracheal intubation with a fiberoptic scope is performed, profuse bleeding from the nasal cavity makes it difficult to handle a fiberoptic scope and may cause a hypoxemia. So when nasal bleeding occurs, it is important to suction the nasal cavity for easy handling of a fiberoptic scope. But, it may be difficult to suction in a nasal cavity with a fiberoptic suction port only. We report a patient with nasal bleeding following nasotracheal intubation with a fiberoptic scope because of articular trismus, and successful nasotracheal intubation utilizing a fiberoptic scope by suctioning with an extra suction apparatus.
