Abstract
Endotracheal intubation for emergency or temporary control of respiration is a common procedure. In this study, transnasal endotracheal intubation using a bronchofiberscope, instead of conventional oral endotracheal intubation using a pharyngoscope, was attempted in 43 patients who were expected to require endotracheal intubation for a year and a half. As a result, this method was found to have the following advantages : 1) Its procedure is easier than that of conventional methods. 2) Aspiration following intubation is possible under direct vision, and the location of the tip of the bronchial tube can be verified. 3) Performance is easy even in subconsious cases or cases incapable of fully opening the mouth. Nasal hemorrhage, mycteric pain, and damage around the cuff of the bronchial tube were noted as side effects in several patients.
