A Novel Method of Fixation and Stabilization of the Nasoendotracheal Tube for Maxillary Osteotomies: The Head Cap Technique

Purpose

To propose a novel technique of fixation and stabilization of the nasoendotracheal tube for maxillary osteotomies.

Method

The technique utilizes a flexible Portex north pole endotracheal tube size 6, elastic adhesive tape, a catheter mount and a head cap made of cloth in the fixation and stabilization of the nasoendotracheal tube for maxillary osteotomies.

Result

It is a simple method of fixation and stabilization of the nasoendotracheal tube, particularly for maxillary osteotomies that essentially eliminates distortion of the nasal, labial and perinasal areas and facilitates good nasolabial control during maxillary osteotomies.

Conclusion

This technique is simple, safe and versatile and may be employed for maxillary osteotomies.
