Abstract:
An anticipated difficult airway requires careful planning and teamwork among the anesthesiologists and the surgical team. This paper reports the airway management of a 7-year-old female scheduled for LASER excision of a huge, obstructing laryngeal neoplasm. Initial attempts to secure the airway with the patient minimally sedated using a C-MAC Video Laryngoscope (C-MAC) and a traditional intubating stylet failed. Successful tracheal intubation was achieved when C-MAC was combined with a pediatric Bonfils Intubating Fiberscope (BIF) with the patient under general anesthesia.
