Publication Submental tracheal intubation in a case of panfacial trauma(Kathmandu University, 2008) Babu, I; Sagtani, A; Jain, N; Bawa, SNAbstract Airway management of panfacial fractures is complicated. Treatment of fractures of such bones presents a certain difficulty as in not only do the fracture fragments have to be aligned but the teeth have to be kept in proper occlusion as well. To achieve a proper pre-traumatic occlusion, the occlusion has to be maintained and checked at all times during the surgery. There are many options for the airway management of such cases. We present a case of panfacial fracture which was managed successfully with submental intubation.
