Case Reports
Retrieval of a retrograde catheter using suction, in patients who cannot open their mouths.
In difficulty, tracheal intubation can be facilitated by passing a retrograde catheter, but the mouth has to be opened for the retrieval of the catheter from the pharynx. Two patients with ankylosis of a temporomandibular joint were unable to open their mouth, and required general anaesthesia for gap arthroplasty. ⋯ Catheter-guided tracheal intubation was done without complication. A suction catheter can assist retrograde retrieval of a catheter to aid intubation in patients who cannot open the mouth.
