与成年人相比,由于解剖学和生理学差异,儿科困难的气道管理对于麻醉师来说更具挑战性。此外,成人对使用困难气道设备的熟悉程度并不等同于儿童对这种设备的熟练程度。所以,在这里,我们介绍了一个4岁儿童因烧伤后颈部挛缩引起的困难气道的独特病例,在使用柔性纤维支气管镜尝试失败后,在视频喉镜的帮助下成功管理。
Pediatric difficult airway management is more challenging for an anesthesiologist due to anatomical and physiological differences as compared to adults. Moreover, the familiarity with the use of difficult airway equipment in adults does not equate to proficiency for the same in children. So, here we are presenting the management of a unique case of a difficult airway due to postburn neck contracture in a 4-year-old child, which was managed successfully with the help of a video laryngoscope after the failure attempt with a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope.
