Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Subglottis stenosis is a real nightmare situation for anaesthetist more so in a neonate. We came across such an emergency of unanticipated difficult intubation in a case of type D tracheoesophageal fistula. We managed the situation with surgical tracheostomy with use of endotracheal tube. There are limited references of managing such emergency in a newborn in the present literature. We have also discussed other means of managing such situation.
