Description
Noy Norman Kambuaya and Iwan Fuadi report a 2026 case of awake airway management for jaw surgery. Their patient was a 52-year-old man with a large tumor of the front lower jaw, of a type called follicular ameloblastoma. Surgeons planned to remove part of the jawbone, and his airway was expected to be hard to secure once he was asleep.
The team placed the breathing tube while he was awake, guiding a flexible scope through his nose as he sat half upright, facing them. Numbing mist and spray, plus one sedative drug, kept him comfortable, and plain low-flow oxygen through the nose replaced a high-flow device the hospital lacked. The tube went in with no drop in oxygen. The case shows a workable low-resource plan.
