Excellent question, Joseph. I would say that NPA's are contraindicated with significant facial trauma but not necessarily all head trauma. There is always some gray zone there, but if the midface is stable and the nose appears grossly normal, we're OK with placing an NPA at MCHD. As always, this is general advice not meant to supersede your service protocols. Thanks for watching!!
Please know that your podcast is awesome and I hope y’all don’t stop anytime soon
Thanks so much for the kind words, Michael!! We always appreciate the feedback.
Doesn't head trauma contradict NPA's?
