[Anesthesia and pre- and postoperative resuscitation in massive maxillofacial destruction].

Severe facial injuries are becoming more and more common, -either facial injuries alone or associated with other injuries, -or facial deformities due to cancer which has required radical surgical operation. The authors analyse the cases of 26 patients with trauma and 24 with neoplastic radical surgical modifications. In the first group, pre-operative resuscitation is often an emergency, e.g. tracheotomy to restore or maintain vital respiratory functions. In the second group, the patients are often elderly and undernourished and they require intensive care before operation. In both groups there are common problems: -feeding by gastric catheter is generally required, -many re-operations with their problems: -avoid nutritional disorders, -and avoid morphine addiction.

[Problems posed by difficult intubations].

The difficulties of tracheal intubation are mainly encountered in facial surgery and E.N.T. surgery, but they may nevertheless, occur in any form of surgery. The indications for nasal intubation, without visible glottis, the problems raised and the means of solving them, whilst respecting safety precautions, are briefly recalled.
