| description | Intubations are important live saving skills to maintain
adequate ventilation and oxygenation. Common
indications include impending upper airway obstruction,
respiratory failure and impaired conscious level. Oral
myiasis is an infrequently found disease which is
characterised by ectoparasitic infestation of body tissues
by fly maggots.
We present a case report and share valuable experiences
on a patient with massive airway myiasis causing upper
airway obstruction which require emergency intubation. |
