چکیده

Unfortunately, studies have not looked at use of lignocaine in the difficult pediatric airway and therefore are unable to ensure absolute adequate placement for an MLB procedure in a child with a difficult airway. It should also be noted directly placed lignocaine is frequently required in addition to nebulized lignocaine to achieve satisfactory anesthesia. We have now used this technique with the Glidescope with no side effects from the lignocaine in over 25 children where previously it was completely impossible to view the larynx or ensure correct placement of topical anesthesia.
