J‐Shaped Guidewire‐Assisted Nasotracheal Intubation in the Dental Treatment of Children—A Retrospective, Observational Study

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The challenges of nasotracheal intubation (NTI) often arise from the misalignment of the oral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal axes. We sought to assess the success and complication rate of an economically reusable J‐shaped stainless‐steel guidewire for NTI during dental treatment in children.
