description The American College of Surgeons' Advanced Trauma Life Support procedure teaches that blind nasotracheal intubation should be performed in the presence of a suspected or proven cervical spine injury in an unconscious but breathing patient who requires an artificial airway. We studied a group of non-anaesthetically trained graduates of the Advanced Trauma Life Support course and examined their skill in performing blind nasal intubations. Only six in 90 attempts were successful. We conclude that, in British hospitals, blind nasotracheal intubation should not be recommended as the first line management in securing the airway of patients with suspected or proven cervical spine injury. Alternative techniques such as bag-and-mask ventilation with cricoid pressure or a laryngeal mask airway with cricoid pressure should be adopted until oral intubation with in-line traction is performed.
