摘要：
Objective: To describe the use of muscle relaxants and a bite raiser to avoid continued tongue trauma. Design: Case report. Setting: A tertiary general intensive care unit (ICU). Interventions: Muscle relaxation and bite raiser. Main Results: Muscle relaxation and a bite raiser were used in a 17-yr-old male with traumatic macroglossia, which allowed for rapid resolution of edema and prevented additional trauma to the tongue. Conclusion: Early use of a bite raiser together with muscle relaxants allows for more rapid solution of edema and prevention of additional trauma to the tongue in patients with traumatic macroglossia.
