Abstract
SUMMARYBlind nasotracheal intubation has been attempted in 72 patients under light general anaesthesia with propanidid in a one-dose or two-dose technique which provides conditions for up to six attempts. Nasotracheal intubation was achieved in 49 patients with a one-dose technique, and in a further 15 patients with the supplementary dose. It is suggested that this technique with propanidid is safer than other techniques using non-anaesthetic respiratory stimulants with their attendant dangers, and that the success rate with propanidid is similar to that using these other techniques.Keywords
