- Abstract
In the expected cases of difficult intubation, awake fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation and tube-changing catheter are being used. These practices can be life-saving but can also induce some complications, as well. In this case report, a patient with a mouth opening of 0.2 mm due to retromolar mass underwent awake fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation for biopsy. A tube changer catheter was used on the extubation. Pneumothorax was observed after extubation. In this case, we present our experience with awake fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation, extubation performed with an airway exchange catheter in a patient who subsequently developed pneumothorax.
