Redefining Airway Management in Maxillofacial Trauma: The Strategic Implementation of Sub‐Mental Intubation

Abstract

ABSTRACT Submental intubation offers a valuable alternative for managing airway in patients with complex maxillofacial injuries, providing unobstructed access for surgical intervention and reducing complications associated with traditional intubation methods. It enhances both surgical visibility and patient safety.
