Anaesthesia in an adult with Rubenstein-Taybi syndrome using the ProSeal laryngeal mask airway

Abstract: We report the anaesthetic management of an adult with Rubenstein-Taybi syndrome. This rare congenital syndrome is characterized by severe learning difficulties, cardiac abnormalities, gastrooesophageal reflux, and cranio-facial abnormalities with the likelihood of difficult intubation. A ProSeal laryngeal mask airway was used to ventilate the patient for eye surgery.

“…Also the ILMA, designed especially for the management of the difficult airway, has been described as being successfully used for ventilation in the anticipated [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] and unanticipated [33,34] difficult airway in 97-100% of cases. Case reports or series (level 4) of successful ventilation in patients with difficult airways have been described for many other SADs: the LMA PLMA [35][36][37][38][39][40][41], the SLMA [42][43][44], the i-gel [45][46][47][48][49][50], the Ambu-i TM [51], the Air-Q [52][53][54][55], the CobraPLA [56] and the CobraPLUS [57]. The Laryngeal Tube, designed for emergency ventilation, is also successfully described in difficult airway management in elective adult [58] and paediatric [59] patients in the operation room.…”

“…Bu tür hastalarda havayolu yönetimi açısından LMA kullanımı tartışmalıdır. Literatürde LMA kullanılan vakalar incelendiğinde hastaların mevcut gastroözofageal reflü problemlerinin olmadığı belirtilmesine rağmen bu vakalarda klasik LMA yerine proseal LMA kullanımı tercih edilmiştir (8,12). Bu tip olgularda Proseal LMA hem orogastrik tüp kullanılarak gastrointestinal yoldan mide içeriği aspire edilebilmeyi sağlarken hem de başarısız veya yetersiz ventilasyon olasılığını azaltır (13).…”

“…Though the use of supraglottic airway device may be beneficial to avoid stimuli in view of respiratory infections, but it may be limited due to possibility of airway collapse, anatomical variability, and presence of hypertrophied tonsils as in our patient. [9] So, we avoided PLMA in our patient. Lower airway collapsibility may not be even managed with endotracheal tube as airway collapse distal to the secured area can manifest itself.…”

“…[4] There is a 30% incidence of cardiac dysrhythmias with or without structural changes to the heart. [9] There is increased incidence of seizures, starring spells, and spinal cord abnormalities mandating concerns during central neuraxial blocks. [12] Our patient did not have such neurological issues.…”
