Anaesthetic Management of A Paediatric Patient with Bilateral Temporomandibular Joint Ankylosis: A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: The role of fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) in patients with difficult airway is well established, however in paediatric patients it becomes very difficult due to lack of cooperation and decreased lung reserve. Case report: We report a case of successful management of a difficult paediatric airway due to bilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis with fibreoptic bronchoscopy under general anaesthesia (GA) using nasopharyngeal airway. Conclusion: In paediatric patients with TMJ ankylosis, a well lubricated nasopharyngeal airway inserted after induction helps to achieve adequate oxygenation and depth of anaesthesia
