Abstract
Nasotracheal intubation has been used as an established method of airway management since 1902, when Kuhn [1] was the first to report this method. Nevertheless, compared with orotracheal intubation, fewer studies have been done on nasotracheal intubation to increase the success rate of intubation and to reduce complications. In this issue of the Journal of Anesthesia, Ono and colleagues [2] report the efficacy of a videolaryngoscope (Pentax Airway Scope) for nasotracheal intubation, factors that may make nasotracheal intubation more difficult, and solutions to these difficulties.
