Nasotracheal Intubation

Nasotracheal intubation (NTI) involves passing an endotracheal tube through the naris, into the nasopharynx, and the trachea, most commonly after induction of general anesthesia in the operating room. The use of NTI permits the administration of anesthetic gases without limiting access to intraoral anatomy, and it is commonly used for procedures including dental, oropharyngeal, and maxillofacial operations. This activity describes the indications, contraindications, and complications of NTI and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in the management of patients who require nasotracheal intubation.
