AB Nasotracheal  intubation  is  a  relatively  simple  procedure  that  is  performed  rapidly  without  the  aid  or  risks  of  neuromuscular  blockade.1  This  method  of  intubation  is  sometimes  favored  in  difficult  airway  cases,  especially  when  oral  access  is  limited  or  impossible.  Such  conditions  include  trismus,  oral  injuries,  and  obstructive  oral  processes  such  as  angioedema.  Nasotracheal  intubation  is  also  the  method  of  intubation  preferred  by  some  authors  for  acute  epiglottitis.2
