Management of accidental extubation during oral surgery by nasotracheal intubation using the King vision video laryngoscope and a gum elastic bougie – a case report

Accidental extubation during intra operative period especially during oral surgery is challenging for any anaesthesiologist. Securing the definitive airway during this period is not only crucial and life saving but also challenging to the anaesthesia provider. Here we report a case which got extubated during hemimandibulectomy and was successfully reintubated using King Vision video laryngoscope. This videolaryngoscope proved to be a good rescue device in managing an accidental extubation during oral surgery and could represent a useful tool for the management of such unfamiliar situations.
