Case Reports[A post-intubation tracheal rupture in intensive care unit].
Tracheal rupture is one of the most serious post-intubation complication. However, it is widely underestimated. ⋯ Special care should be paid to this complication, early diagnosis has probably a prognostic value. Training operators in the use of stylets and monitoring cuff pressure are required.

Case Reports[Patient treated with sub-mental intubation for maxillofacial trauma].
Maxillo-facial traumas are frequent and most often occur in young patients. Naso-tracheal or orotracheal intubation may be contraindicated in case of combined occlusal fracture and nasal or ethmoido-nasal fracture. ⋯ Submental intubation is a reliable single and safe technique allowing an one-stage surgical treatment in case of complex association of fractures without using tracheotomy. Its use should be implemented on a larger scale.
