nasotracheal

Nasotracheal intubation was not widely practiced until the early 20th century.

For infants and young children, orotracheal intubation is easier than the nasotracheal route.

Nasotracheal suction is ordered every two hours.

Nasotracheal intubation carries a risk of dislodgement of adenoids and nasal bleeding.

A cricothyrotomy is nearly always performed as a last resort in cases where orotracheal and nasotracheal intubation are impossible or contraindicated.

A nasotracheal tube is sometimes warranted for ventilation if the tissues of the mouth make insertion of an oral airway difficult or impossible.

Methods used for pulmonary hygiene include suctioning of the airways, chest physiotherapy, blow bottles, and nasotracheal suction.

Magill devised a new type of angulated forceps (the Magill forceps) that are still used today to facilitate nasotracheal intubation in a manner that is little changed from Magill's original technique.
