Nasotracheal intubation has a mortality rate of zero as compared to tracheostomy, which has a mortality rate of approximately 3 per cent. Nasotracheal intubation can be safely and effectively used over prolonged periods of time for the management of an airway without the hazards of hemorrhage, pneumothorax, and subcutaneous or mediastinal emphysema.
