Pediatric video laryngoscope rescue for a difficult neonatal intubation.

Management of the airway in neonatal patients with craniofacial abnormalities or facial dysmorphism presents a challenge to health care providers. These patients may require specialized equipment and techniques to secure the airway safely. Video laryngoscopy with standard pediatric sized blades is a newly available and emerging technology and may serve as another tool when a potentially difficult airway is encountered. We report the use of a Miller 1 video laryngoscope for the intubation of a neonate with Desbuquois syndrome who had a poor glottic view by direct laryngoscopy.
