Abstract

Patients with panfacial fracture pose a unique set of problems to the anaesthesiologist and surgeon and both are competing for the same space. In such cases submental intubation can be done. Here we discuss a modified approach to submental intubation which reduces apnoea time and damage to pilot balloon of tube.
