Evaluation of Temporomandibular Joint by Anesthetists in Florida When Conducting Orotracheal Intubation—A Pilot Study
Background: Orotracheal intubation has been considered a risk factor for the development or exacerbation of disorders related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The objective of this pilot study was to evaluate TMJ assessment performed by anesthetists in Florida when conducting orotracheal intuba...

description | Background: Orotracheal intubation has been considered a risk factor for the development or exacerbation of disorders related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The objective of this pilot study was to evaluate TMJ assessment performed by anesthetists in Florida when conducting orotracheal intubation. Methods: An online questionnaire was created using Qualtrics. The survey included 22 questions related to demographics, TMJ related to anesthesia procedures, and education/awareness regarding TMJ related to intubation. Descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation analysis were performed. Results: One hundred and eight providers participated (mean 46 years-old ± 12; 59% female). About 50% reported to always evaluate TMJ prior non-emergency intubation. Of those, 56% used an alternative intubation technique based on the TMJ status and 60% never/rarely evaluated TMJ post-intubation. Twenty-five percent reported they did not know of possible intubation effects on TMJ and 47% reported that they did not receive adequate information/education on TMJ management related to intubation in school. After participation, 81% reported to be more aware of the importance of evaluating TMJ. Conclusions: Only half of the providers who frequently performed intubation in Florida evaluated TMJ prior to intubation. This survey increased the awareness regarding the importance of evaluating TMJ when conducting intubation. This may contribute to reducing TMJ issues associated with non-emergency intubations. |
