Abstract

The anesthesia for the treatment of maxilo-facial fractures should be good enough to the confort of the patient and assuring a quite operating field for the surgeon. Regional anesthesia is often used in the treatment of small fractures of the bones of the face. In children and non cooperative adults the general anesthesia is mandatory. In the great injuries of the face and in patients with “multiple trauma the general anesthesia is the best. choice. The orotraqueal entubations must be always performed and the traqueostomy should be done only in cases where the facial injury do not allow the orotraqueal entubations. In this brief discussion we also call attention for some points in general case of the patient such as treatment of the shock, respiratore failure and problems related.
