Overview

Brief Summary

Nasotracheal intubation (NTI) is usually required in patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery. Though video-scopes have been demonstrated to well perform in oral endotracheal intubation, limited information presents in NTI. The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of video-scopes in NTI and compared with the traditional direct laryngoscope.
