RESUMO
Both endotracheal intubation and the laryngeal mask are already established and have their specific applications. The Combitube SA applied submentally is useful for patients with serious craniomaxillomandibular fractures, particularly those which disturb the occlusion and cause serious haemorrhage with attendant difficulties for intubation. Combitube SA used via the submental route will facilitate fracture reduction and temporary maintenance of fractures, so that bleeding, pain and airway problems may be managed more easily until alternative intubation has been achieved.
