A 28-year-old male patient with right maxillar, zygomatic arch, orbital wall, and nasal bone fractures had an orthognathic and nasal surgery.Naso-endotracheal intubation is Outdoor the first choice during surgical correction of dentofacial deformities in an orthognathic surgery; however, its presence can interfere with concomitant surgical procedures on the nose.Traditionally, the naso-endotracheal tube will be removed and replaced with an Compression Stockings oro-endotracheal tube.
We changed the endotracheal tube from nasal to oral by using an airway exchange catheter.
