Management of Abrasions in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery - A Review

AbstractSoft tissue injuries, whether isolated or in combination with other injuries, are among the most common traumatic craniofacial injuries encountered by emergency department personnel and maxillofacial surgeons. Despite this high incidence, there are very few studies that systematically investigate the management of these injuries and therefore, there is no widely accepted classification scheme or treatment algorithms to guide evaluation and treatment. As a result, most critical management decisions are left exclusively to the discretion of the treating surgeon with limited prospective or retrospective data, beyond personal experience, available to guide treatment. This may lead to many disparate approaches to both short-term and longterm management. In this review article, we give a brief account of management of facial abrasions, including tetanus prophylaxis, pain assessment, cleaning, definitive closure and dressing of facial abrasions.

Preventive Methods

Nasotracheal intubation is used as a basic method for airway management, along with orotracheal intubation under anesthesia and intensive care. It has become an effective alternative method to orotracheal intubation with increased benefits of offering better mobility and surgical field in oral and maxillofacial surgery and possibly in trauma and critically ill patients. Nasotracheal intubation is performed through a relatively narrow nasal cavity; therefore, additional precautions are needed. Accordingly, nasotracheal intubation methods have evolved over the years with accumulated clinical experience and improved instruments to facilitate safe intubation with reduced complications. Therefore, in this review article, we summarize the basic anatomy of the nasal airways to clarify the precautions, delineate the history and development of various methods and instruments, and describe the indications, contraindications, complications, and preventive methods of nasotracheal intubation.

Made In

A significant amount of empirical progress has been made in the management of pain over the last century,largely as a result of the introduction of a more effective pharmacological agent and the developmentof a better understanding of the principle of molecular development that governsits use. Much remains to be learned from the mechanisms and treatment of pain by researchers and practitioners. This review article will discuss regarding the important aspects of pain control in oral and maxillofacial facial surgery.
