  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. number of the patients with successful nasotracheal intubation and scoring difficult intubation scale [half an hour]

      Nasotracheal intubation assisted by a video-stylet may be performed in patients undergoing oro-maxillo-facial surgery following induction of anesthesia (fentanyl 2 micro-gram/kg, thiamylal 5 mg/kg, cis-atracurium 0.2 mg/kg and propofol 1 mg/kg)

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. time to intubate [10 minutes]

      time of Intubating the nasotracheal tube (NT) from selected nostril to trachea is continuously calculated but separately into two parts. part one: from termination of mask ventilation and mask removed from face, to the NT tip on the nasopharynx. part two: advancing NT from nasopharynx, through vocal cord into trachea, to present of 3 end tidal carbon dioxide waveforms.

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. postoperative nasal bleeding, sore throat and hoarseness [2 days]

      Events of intubating related nasal bleeding are recorded on selected nostril and oral cavity at 3 minutes post-intubation and post-operatively. Incidences of sore throat and hoarseness are evaluated before patients out of recovery room and the following morning
