Résumé
Airway compromise is life threatening complication in the maxillofacial fracture. However, the incident of the airway compromise following mandibular fracture was little known. Maxillofacial fractures during the past 3 years from 2017 to 2020 were investigated retrospectively. There were 154 patients with maxillofacial fractures were noted in the past 3 years. Mandibular fractures accounted for 93% of the maxillofacial fracture. The most common cause of injury was falls (75%), followed by sports (12%). Of these, 3 cases (1.9%) needed an airway management at the time of initial treatment, and all were mandibular fractures. The average age was 55.7 ± 10 years and all were male. The cause of the injury was high-energy trauma including traffic accident and work-related injury. Endotracheal intubation was performed at the time of initial treatment. All cases were communicated mandibular fracture included symphysis and para-symphysis region, and the bone fragments including the genial tubercle were largely displaced inward.
