Submental orotracheal intubation is a simple, quick and effective alternative to oral and nasal tracheal intubation or tracheostomy in the surgical management of selected patients with craniomaxillofacial injuries. It has a low morbidity and it does not impede the surgical field, allowing for temporary maxillomandibular fixation intra-operatively, and nasal assessment, manipulation and bone grafting, either simultaneously or as an independent procedure. The techniques and indications for submental tracheal intubation are described.
