Abstract
A simple manoeuvre is described which may enable one to pass a proper size nasotracheal tube from nasopharynx to oropharynx without risk of excessive trauma, in patients widi anatomical deformities of the posterior pharyngeal wall such as to offer difficulties in the usage of an adequately sized nasotracheal tube.Keywords
