Abstract: | A 5-year-old girl with Goldenhar's syndrome was scheduled for reconstruction of her left thumb. Because her preanesthetic X-p had revealed airway abnormality, difficult intubation was anticipated. After induction of anesthesia with thiamylal, the lungs were ventilated easily via a facemask. A perilaryngeal airway (PLA) was inserted after obtaining adequate depth of anesthesia with sevoflurane. Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane (2%) plus nitrous oxide (66%) under spontaneous ventilation. The operation was finished uneventfully. However, a re-operation was scheduled for postoperative hemorrhage on that day. In consideration of potential regurgitation of gastric content, endotracheal intubation was scheduled. Her vocal cord was confirmed with a videolaryngoscope, and she was intubated successfully. In conclusion, a PLA and a videolaryngoscope are useful for airway management of patients with Goldenhar's syndrome for whom difficulty in intubation is anticipated. |
