[Prevention of complications of the transnasal placement of artificial respiration tubes and catheters].
The anatomical variations of the nose and the nasopharynx concerning the possible complications in placement of transnasal tubes are discussed, such as problems with septal deviations, retropharyngeal or even intracranial aberration. In order to avoid complications attributable to these techniques the use of instruments designed for anterior rhinoscopy is recommended. No convenient and practicable instrument for routine use by an anaesthesiologist has been developed to date.
