Submental Intubation Including Extubation: Airway Complications of Maxillomandibular Fixation [PDF]
Hernandez first described the submental route for endotracheal intubation in 1986 as an alternative airway maneuver for maxillofacial procedures. Since that time, several case studies have been performed demonstrating the efficacy of the submental approach.
