  • Title: [Use of fiber optics in difficult intubations in young children].
    Author: Andrieu-Guitrancourt J, Ensel J, Dehesdin D, Arrignon J.
    Journal: Ann Otolaryngol Chir Cervicofac; 1984; 101(6):481-4. PubMed ID: 6508116.
    Abstract:
    Difficulties in performing laryngotracheal intubation may arise in patients with cervicofacial anomalies, particularly when young children are involved. Technical artifices usually employed in adults, mainly intubation under fibroscopic guidance, cannot be used in these cases. Intubation was performed in three children aged between 3 to 4 years by means of a guide-catheter previously introduced into the trachea by using the fibroscope working canal, a method that is particularly recommended, even in younger children. The type of anesthesia used must be adapted to these circumstances.
