Nasotracheal tube induced nasal ala pressure sores or necrosis during prolonged nasotracheal intubation have been reported, and it is a serious but preventable complication. Here we introduce a modified nasotracheal tube to prevent this complication. This modified nasotracheal tube is composed of two parts, an oral endotracheal tube and a proximal part of a preformed nasotracheal tube, which are linked by a connector. The use of this modified nasotracheal tube can prevent nasal ala pressure sores during prolonged nasotracheal intubation.
经鼻气管插管时间过长可导致鼻翼压疮或坏死,这是一种严重但可预防的并发症。我们在此介绍一种改良型经鼻气管插管以预防该并发症。该改良型经鼻气管插管由两部分组成,即口腔气管插管和预成型经鼻气管插管的近端部分,两者通过连接器连接。使用这种改良型经鼻气管插管可预防经鼻气管插管时间过长导致的鼻翼压疮。
