Background And ObjectivesManaging the airway of post burn contracture of the neck has always been challenging to anesthesiologists as it limits the alignment of oro-pharyngo-laryngeal axes because of functional and anatomical deformities that occur as a result of long standing contractures. Here the role of the King Vision video laryngoscope which is the latest in the series of video laryngoscope has been evaluated for such patients.Case ReportA 35 year old male patient with post burn contracture of neck was scheduled for release of the contracture. As the patient had had fixed flexion deformity of the neck we did not attempt the conventional laryngoscopy. Instead we opted for King Vision video laryngoscope.ConclusionWe therefore conclude that King Vision videolaryngoscope can be used for difficult airway situations like post burn contracture of neck.Copyright © 2015 Sociedade Brasileira de Anestesiologia.
