Abstract

Retrograde intubation is one of many techniques that can be used in those cases where oral or nasal tracheal intubation may be extremely difficult or impossible. Retrograde intubation is a reliable and easily learned technique that offers an alternative to more invasive surgical solutions for securing the airway. Submental intubation provides intraoperative airway control, avoids use of oral and nasal route, with minimal complications. Submental intubation is an acceptable option, especially when long-term post-operative ventilation is not planned. We hereby report a case of a 55-year-old woman with a recurrent history of a pleomorphic adenoma of palate which required tumour excision under General Anaesthesia for which Awake Retrograde Submental Intubation was done.
