. DISCUSSION Surgical materials are sometimes left in the surgical site and/or somewhere in the patient during various surgical procedures. 1 – 3 The incidence of foreign bodies in the maxillofacial region is unclear compared to that of abdominal and emergency surgery. Generally, foreign bodies in the oral and maxillofacial region are radiolucent and detected as radiographic findings. Cica Care is a hydrocolloid soft material that has been used for preventing pressure ulcers at the ala of nose in cases of nasotracheal intubation, especially for prolonged

the ala of nose in 16 cases over 3 years. Therefore, we retrospectively investigated the risk factors of pressure ulcers at the ala of nose in oral surgery. MATERIALS AND METHOD Anesthesia records of patients older than 20 years and American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I or II who underwent oral surgery with nasotracheal intubation from April 2010 to September 2012 were reviewed. Those with postoperative alar pressure ulcers were identified. Patients' demographic data (age, body mass index BMI, gender) and duration of

The patients with the RED system were ventilated using a facemask for infants. The facemask for infants was positioned over the nose; the mouth was occluded by an assistant.

Recommended airway management for patients with unexpected and expected epiglottic cysts. (A) Unexpected epiglottic cysts: If epiglottic cysts are detected during initial intubation after induction of general anesthesia, assess whether face mask ventilation is adequate or not. (I) If face mask ventilation is adequate, use of a video laryngoscope is recommended for intubation. If unsuccessful and face mask ventilation is adequate, consider fiberoptic intubation or other alternative approaches. (II) If face mask ventilation is not adequate, initially attempt intubation using the planned method. If initially unsuccessful, consider use of a video laryngoscope, following the steps of the American Society of Anesthesiology Practice Guidelines for Management of the Difficult Airway 12 algorithm. Otolaryngology consultation may be warranted prior to extubation. (B) Expected epiglottic cysts: For the airway management of the patient with known epiglottic cysts, a consideration of the relative clinical merits and feasibility of 3 management choices is needed: (I) awake intubation using a video laryngoscope or a fiberoptic scope, (II) after an awake look using a video laryngoscope, awake intubation or intubation after induction of general anesthesia using a video laryngoscope or a fiberoptic scope, (III) intubation after induction.

After 2-jaw surgery, difficulty in breathing through the mouth and the nose is frequently observed due to nasal airway obstruction, edema of lips, cheeks, and tongue, intraoral bleeding, and sometimes maxillo-mandibular fixation. The nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) is usually inserted to facilitate breathing, tamponade nasal bleeding if present, and provide supplemental oxygen after extubation. The NPA is preferable in patients with limited mouth opening or those lightly anesthetized. 1 It is known to be useful for oxygen administration after

case report was approved by our institutional research ethics committee, and the patient provided informed consent prior to publication. CASE PRESENTATION An 87-year-old man (height 152 cm; weight 55 kg; body mass index 23 kg/m 2 ) with squamous cell carcinoma of the right side of the nose underwent resection of the lesion and soft tissue reconstruction using a scalping forehead flap ( Figures 1 and 2 ). The patient's medical history was significant for well-controlled diabetes mellitus type II (HbA1c 6.1%) and hypertension. He also had

-tip tube. The unique design and flexible quality of the distal end of the endotracheal tube appears to be responsible for this advantage. Video recordings of the intubations demonstrate an extraordinary property of this tube to flex and maneuver safely past the complex nasal, pharyngeal, laryngeal, and tracheal anatomy.
