Retrograde Intubation in Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma With Airway Obstruction: A Case Report and Literature Review
Retrograde intubation is a valuable technique for securing the airway in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma causing airway obstruction. In this case, retrograde intubation enabled successful airway management when conventional methods failed, highlighting its role in complex head and neck cancer cases. It offers low complication risks and high success rates.
