[Limitation of prolonged nasotracheal intubation (author's transl)]. 1975

B Hövener, and U Henneberg

The debate concerning the relative merits of about prolonged nasal intubation or tracheostomy on adult patients continues. We had only very positive experiences in our intensive care unit describing 7 patients in whom the average duration of nasal intubation was 28,7 days (Range 26 to 33 days). All patients had a regularly weekly bronchoscopy to avoid any damage to the larynx or trachea.
