Case ReportsVideolaryngoscopy Bails us out of Difficult Intubation Scenarios in Syndromic Children: A Case Series.
Airway management in children with craniofacial anomalies can be complicated and may require multiple attempts with conventional direct laryngoscopy (DL). Videolaryngoscopes (VLs) have a well-established role in difficult airway management in adults; however, their role remains to be fully elucidated in paediatric age group. ⋯ Following initial failed attempts to intubate using DL, these children were subsequently intubated using VLs. Therefore, VLs should be used for initial intubation attempts in syndromic children with potential difficult airways.
