I generally thought that I was pretty smooth with nasal intubations. However, lately, I have encountered one bleeding incidence where I almost lost the airway. I usually apply Afrin to the nares, soften the tube in warm water, lube it and dilate the nostrils before I intubate. Even with these, I had an episode of uncontrolled bleeding through the nose that when I DL the patient, I almost couldn't see anything. Someone suggested red rubber catheter. Does anyone have experience with it? How do we use it? Any better ideas? Thanks!
