Comparison of Ultrasound / Anatomical landmark guided technique for superior laryngeal nerve block along with Topical Anesthesia for awake nasal intubation in various Oral& faciomaxillary & Dental surgeries. Indian Journal of Applied-Basic Medical Sciences. 2022 Jun; 38(24A): 1-90975-89172249-7935http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/221036ABSTRACT:Background: Endotracheal intubation is gold standard of general anesthesia. various oral,Maxillofacial, Dental surgeries are carried out in high-risk patients having chances ofdifficult intubation. If we give sedation or general anesthesia, we can be trapped in criticalairway accidents.Aims & objectives: To access & compare efficacy of anatomical landmark guided/Ultrasound guided superior laryngeal nerve block associated with topical Anesthesia &transtracheal block for awake blind nasal intubation.Method:Group A: Anatomical landmark guided superior laryngeal nerve block given(n=30)Group B: ultrasound guided superior laryngeal nerve block(n=30)In both groups topical Anesthesia & transtracheal block for awake blind nasal intubation wasgiven.Results: upper airway block provide clinical ease to facilitate blind nasal awake intubation.ultrasound guided block has less adverse reactions.Conclusion: Both methods provide good quality of Endotracheal intubation, but ultrasoundguided block is more efficient & scientific method to block superior laryngeal nerve forawake nasal intubation.Awake nasal intubationanatomical landmark guided blockSuperior laryngeal nerve blockUltrasound assistance for blockJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Anesthesia ,AMCMET college Ahmedabad, Ex Associate professor of Anesthesia, NHLMMC Ahmedabad & LG Hospital , Maninagar Ahmedabad pin 380008
