About half my practice is pedi dental in the OR. All GA with nasal intubation. I prep with oxymetazoline atomizer, then serially dilate with 2-3 nasal trumpets before intubating with tube that I wound up in a tight roll prior. Have not experienced moderate or severe epistaxis, only mild once in a while. Any other tricks or tips anyone have?
