Abstract
SUMMARY Two anaesthetic techniques for blind nasal intubation have been compared. The first consisted of propanidid, followed if necessary by nitrous oxide, oxygen, halothane and carbon dioxide, and the second of thiopentone, nitrous oxide, oxygen, halothane and carbon dioxide. The success rate in three or less attempts with propanidid was 75 per cent and with the thiopentone-carbon dioxide sequence 53 per cent. The ultimate success rate was similar in both groups.
