Study Reveals 16.00% Incidence of Traumatic Dental Injuries during Pediatric Oral Tracheal Intubation Under General Anesthesia

Posted: January 4, 2025
The study investigated the occurrence of traumatic dental injuries during oral tracheal intubation in pediatric patients under general anesthesia, highlighting a 16.00% incidence rate with most injuries being intra-oral soft tissue-related, particularly affecting the maxillary incisors. Factors such as the occlusal stage, intubation difficulty, and anatomical measurements were found to influence the occurrence of injuries. Despite skilled anesthetists, these injuries cannot be entirely prevented, emphasizing the importance of thorough preoperative oral examinations by anesthesiologists to mitigate risks.
