Extrinsic airway compression by rapidly growing mediastinal masses represents a therapeutic challenge to anaesthesiologists. We report a case of successful airway management in a patient with obstructed airway. The patient was a middle aged female who presented with severe respiratory distress secondary to a huge me...

Second branchial cleft cysts account for 95% of branchial anomalies, and fourth branchial cleft cysts are the rarest type. Their typical presentations include non-life-threatening symptoms, such as drainage, skin irritations, minor swelling, and tenderness. We describe a 5-week-old neonate with increasing stri...
متن کاملAirway Management in Patients with Mediastinal Masses
Introduction Mediastinal masses can compress the major airways, so these patients should be carefully evaluated before subjecting them to anaesthesia.1 However, even large mediastinal masses can present without any clinical symptoms of airway compression.2 These large mediastinal tumours with apparently normal airways preoperatively may develop an obstructed airway after induction of general an...
متن کاملPaediatric airway management: basic aspects.
Paediatric airway management is a great challenge, especially for anaesthesiologists working in departments with a low number of paediatric surgical procedures. The paediatric airway is substantially different from the adult airway and obstruction leads to rapid desaturation in infants and small children. This paper aims at providing the non-paediatric anaesthesiologist with a set of safe and s...
