Abstract
In a total of 312 intubated patients the cervical spine - from the atl anto-occipital joint to and including the last cervical vertebra - as well as the temporomandibular joints were submitted to a segmental man ual examination prior to and following intubation. In 8 patients, new cervical spinal blocks were demonstrable. All of the temporomandibular joints were freely mobile, It was shown that although blocks affectin g the cervical spine are typical occurrences under endotracheal anaest hesia, they are usually only mild complications.
