Case report and protocol for management of dislodged tooth during intubation JF - Asian Pacific Journal of Health Sciences JA - APJHS VL - 2 IS - 4(s) SE - Table of Contents DO - 10.21276/apjhs.2015.2.2s.3 UR - https://apjhs.com/index.php/apjhs/article/view/952 SP - 15-18 AB - <p>Dental injury during general anesthesia while intubation is a frequent cause of morbidity for patients and a source of litigation against anesthetists. Most injuries occur as a result of laryngoscopy. Dental injury may range from a simple enamel fracture to avulsion and pulmonary aspiration. We report a case of dislodged tooth during intubation being done for a 25year old male patient with maxillofacial trauma. We propose a protocol for management of dislodged tooth during intubation.</p> ER -
