Sevoflurane for difficult tracheal intubation.
Three patients in whom difficult tracheal intubation was expected but awake fibreoptic intubation was not feasible presented for head and neck surgery. Anaesthesia was induced rapidly and smoothly by inhalation of sevoflurane followed by fibreoptic or conventional tracheal intubation.
متن کاملLaryngeal 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...
متن کاملThe management of difficult intubation in children.
This article looks at the current techniques and equipment recommended for the management of the difficult intubation scenario in pediatric practice. We discuss the general considerations including preoperative preparation, the preferred anesthetic technique and the use of both rigid laryngoscopic and fiberoptic techniques for intubation. The unanticipated scenario is also discussed.
متن کاملSevoflurane compared with halothane for tracheal intubation in children.
We have studied 40 healthy children, aged 3-10 yr, undergoing adenotonsillectomy, in a double-blind, randomized study. Intubating conditions were assessed when the pupils had become small and central after inhalation induction with either 5% halothane and 60% nitrous oxide in oxygen or 8% sevoflurane and 60% nitrous oxide in oxygen. The quality of tracheal intubation was graded according to eas...
متن کاملDifficult intubation in children: applicability of the Mallampati index.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The concern of facing difficult airways brought the need of developing predictive testing for difficult intubation. Those tests were developed primarily for adult populations. In pediatric patients studies always focus on patients with congenital malformation, polytraumatized, and newborns. The objective of the present study was to determine the applicability of the pr...
