Anaesthetic Management of a Child with Laryngeal Papillomas
Journal Title: Enliven: Journal of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
The excision of laryngeal papillomas poses a great challenge for both the anesthesiologist and the surgeon. Laser surgery offers several advantages to the surgeon and patient; i.e. microscopic precision, a bloodless operative field & complete sterility. Close co-operation and communication between anesthesiologist and surgeon is of paramount importance in managing laryngeal papillomas. We report a 4 year old child with vocal cord papillomas who underwent successful excision by using carbon dioxide (CO2) laser under general anaesthesia.
