AbstractIn the field of pediatric anesthesia, devices to solve difficult airway are scant compare to devices for adult difficult airways. We report successful use of an Airway Scope with a pediatric blade in four children with difficult airways. Difficult tracheal intubation had been predicted in all the children, and two had history of difficult intubation. Tracheal intubation using an Airway Scope was always easy. We conclude that the Airway Scope with a pediatric blade is potentially useful in children with difficult airways.
