Difficult intubation in occipital encephalocele : Ambu aura i to our rescue !
Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Airway management in patients with occipital encephalocele is a challenging task due to difficulty in positioning and restricted neck movement . Alternative approaches to secure airway such as supraglottic devices prove to be a great help in difficult pediatric airway. Here we report a case of occipital encephalocele where airway was successfully established with Ambu Aura i laryngeal mask airway after failure of attempted conventional endotracheal intubation.
