The swallowing of dentures during general anaesthesia is a significant problem for anesthesiologists. It is seen more often in patients with psychiatric disorders, mental retardation, alcoholism, or poor quality dentures. It has become an important issue for anesthesiologists preoperatively due to the increase in the proportion of dentures associated with prolongation of life. In elderly, the use of partial fixed prosthesis increases and the risk of swallowing dentures is increased. In this case report, it was presented that the denture was swallowed spontaneously before intubation while the patient was ventilated preoperatively.
全身麻醉期间假牙误吞对麻醉医生来说是个重大问题。在患有精神障碍、智力低下、酗酒或假牙质量差的患者中更常见。由于假牙使用比例随着寿命延长而增加,术前这已成为麻醉医生面临的一个重要问题。在老年人中,局部固定义齿的使用增加,假牙误吞风险也随之增加。在本病例报告中,呈现了患者术前通气时在插管前自发误吞假牙的情况。
