Which of the following is NOT an indication for blind nasal intubation?
Correct Answer: Base of skull fracture
Description: Blind intubation techniques are those methods of airway management that are done without visualization of the larynx or glottis. Blind nasal intubation is contra-indicated in the presence of a base-of-skull fracture, e.g., with 'raccoon eyes' or with CSF dripping from the nose, as the endotracheal tube can enter the brain. Indications for blind nasal intubation include impossible laryngoscopy, TM joint problems or trismus due to any cause.
