“…reported a 6% incidence of inadequate airway on insertion of the LMA, followed by a 24% incidence of delayed airway obstruction (3). Subsequently, other studies have demonstrated an incidence of insertion difficulties and airway complications similar to that for the larger sizes of LMA (5,6). However, a large series by Lopez‐Gil et al .…”

“…The LMA is considered a useful device for pediatric anesthesia because it may be used effectively for both spontaneous and controlled ventilation [14]. Anesthesiologists commonly encounter airway complications during LMA insertion such as coughing, gagging, hiccups, or aspiration [15].…”

“…The routine use of the LMA in children undergoing elective groin surgery has been well described. 19 The underlying myopathy of FSS may predispose patients to malignant hyperthermia. Tachycardia and hyperpyrexia (38.7~ was reported in one patient following administration of halothane.…”

Anesthesia for FreemanSheldon syndrome using a laryngeal mask airwayPurpose: To present a case of Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS) with a previously unreported technique of anesthetic management, consisting of a malignant hyperthermia free anesthetic and laryngeal mask airway. Clinical features: Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (also known as whistling face syndrome, Windmill-Vane-Hand syndrome, cranio-carpo-tarsal dysptasia and distal arthrogryposis type 2) is a rare congenital disorder defined by facial and skeletal abnormalities. The three basic abnormalities are microstomia with pouting lips, camptodactyly with ulnar deviation of the fingers and talipes equinovarus. Patients with FSS frequently present for surgical correction of musculoskeletal or facial abnormalities. There are several anesthetic challenges including dif~cult airway, intravenous cannulation and regional technique. They may be at increased risk for malignant hyperthermia and postoperative pulmonary complications. We present a case of a two-year-old child with FSS undergoing elective unilateral inguinal hernia repair. A non-triggering anesthetic technique was used, consisting of 2 mgkg -~ propofol followed by a continuous infusion, nitrous oxide 50%/oxygen, and 3 ~g'kg "-~ fentanyl. Intraoperative and postoperative analgesia was provided by an ilioinguinal nerve block with 10 ml bupivacaine 0.25% with epinephrine 1:200,000. The airway was maintained with a #2 laryngeal mask airway. The anesthetic was uneventful and there were no signs or symptoms of malignant hyperthermia. The patient was discharged home later the same day in good health. Conclusion: The use of a laryngeal mask airway and non-triggering anesthetic technique should be considered as options for anesthetic management in patients with FSS for short procedures that do not require neuromuscular blockade.
