“…[8] However requirement of technical expertise with the availability of these devices precludes their use in infant population. [9] To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report where retromolar intubation along with modifications in the conventional technique of ventilation and laryngoscopy were used successfully to manage the difficult pediatric airway.…”

ABSTRACTManagement of pediatric difficult airway has always been a challenge to the anesthesiologist. Effective airway management includes proper assessment of the airway, anticipation of difficulties, good preparation & team work. We present a unique case of 6-week-old infant posted for excision of a large cystic teratoma of face and scalp where the airway was secured effectively by using the retro-molar intubation and modification of conventional technique of ventilation and laryngoscopy.

“…Airway management is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality [ 1 ]. Managing the airways of pediatric oral tumors is difficult, even for experienced anesthesiologists [ 2 ]. The feasibility of conventional awake intubation for difficult airways in pediatric patients depends on the patient’s age and expected cooperation from the child, which is not always possible.…”

Numerous neoplastic lesions can arise in the orofacial region in the pediatric populations. Odontogenic tumors typically affect the mandible more than the maxilla. Airway management can be challenging in pediatric oral tumors because of the distorted anatomy and physiological variations. Conventional awake fiberoptic intubation is not always possible owing to limited cooperation from the pediatric populations. Herein, we report the case of a 1-year-old child with odontogenic myxoma of the mandible and an anticipated difficult airway. Given the expected difficulties in the airway, video laryngoscope-assisted orotracheal intubation under general anesthesia with maintenance of spontaneous breathing was scheduled. Proper planning and thorough examinations are vital for successful airway management in pediatric patients.

The key to success in patients with difficult airway is effective airway assessment and meticulous planning. Making use of simple and time-tested equipment and modifying these methods accordingly enable successful airway control avoiding perioperative morbidity and mortality . We report a case of 75 year old male with posterior urethral stricture planned for perineal urethroplasty with anticipated difficult airway. The airway was managed using video laryngoscopy and the procedure was uneventful with good postoperative recovery. This case report insists on making use of other conventional methods in the effective management of an anticipated difficult airway during a pandemic.
