Sevoflurane as the Single Anesthetic Agent for Management of Anticipated Pediatric Difficult Airway
نویسنده
چکیده
Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a group of hereditary diseases characterized by accumulation of Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) due to deficiency or malfunctioning of lysosomal enzymes. Difficult intubation is anticipated in these patients because of a variety of anatomical and functional abnormalities. We report the successful use of sevoflurane and laryngeal mask for airway management of a 15 year-old boy requiring corneal transplantation surgery.

Anesthetic management of the difficult pediatric airway is the same as that for adults, with two important exceptions: 1. Awake intubations are rarely feasible. 2. The smaller airway anatomy of the child requires use of smaller intubating equipment that may not be readily available or easy to use. The broad topic of the difficult airway can be divided into two major aspects: difficult intubatio...
