INTUBATION IN LARYNGEAL INFLAMMATIONS.

Laryngeal mask for difficult intubation in children.

We present a new intubation technique using an oral preformed tracheal tube passed through a laryngeal mask. Six patients (neonate to six months old) with craniofacial malformations of head and neck and scheduled for reconstructive plastic surgery are the basis of this report. An inhalation induction with increasing doses of halothane in oxygen while maintaining spontaneous ventilation was perf...

Laryngeal complications by orotracheal intubation: Literature review

INTRODUCTION  The injuries caused for the orotracheal intubation are common in our way and widely told by literature. Generally the pipe rank of or consequence of its permanence in the aerial ways of the patient is caused by accidents in. It has diverse types of larynx injuries, caused for multiple mechanisms. OBJECTIVE  To verify, in literature, the main causes of laryngeal complications aft...

Regarding fiberoptic intubation and laryngeal morbidity.

To the Editor:—Heidegger et al. are to be congratulated for a wellperformed study that validates the relative safety of their practice. The conclusions from their study, however, can be applied only narrowly. First, as they admit, it was conducted by individuals with extensive previous experience with the technique. Indeed, each had performed more than 200 previous bronchoscopic intubations. Th...

[Post-intubation laryngeal granuloma: a rare complication of tracheal intubation in pediatrics. Case report].

Laryngeal granulomas are benign lesions located in the posterior third of the glottis, mainly at the level of the vocal apophysis of the arytenoid cartilage. They are typically associated with three etiological factors: endotracheal intubation, inappropriate voice use and/or gastroesophageal reflux. The formation of a post-intubation laryngeal granuloma is a late complication related to intubat...
