Nasopharyngeal intubation in Robin sequence: technique and management.
Cleft Palate-craniofacial Journal 2009 May
OBJECTIVE: To provide a detailed description of the nasopharyngeal intubation (NPI) technique and photographs, which should be helpful for those who may need to perform it for treating the airway obstruction in Robin sequence.
DESIGN: To describe and illustrate the NPI technique and the necessary considerations for its application.
SETTING: Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofacial of University of São Paulo, Brazil.
RESULT: The NPI procedure involves the use of a whitish, Portex, number 3.0 or 3.5, silicone tube, introduced 8 cm deep into the infant's nostril and fixed with Micropore tape. The tube is to be removed at least twice a day for proper hygiene (with running water, detergent, and swabs) and should be changed every 7 days. This procedure is taught to the children's parents or caretakers by the nurse during hospitalization.
CONCLUSION: The technique is so simple that it can be performed by the parents themselves, allowing continuation of the treatment at home.
