“…12 yaptıkları bir çalışmada hava yolu yönetiminin zor olduğu pediatrik hastalarda VL kullanımının daha iyi bir entübasyon aracı olduğunu savunmuşlardır. Literatürde yer alan başka bir çalışmada ise entübasyon esnasında VL kullanımının hava yolunu koruyarak dokuların daha az travmatize olmasını sağladı belirtilmiştir 13 . Ayrıca Jıang ve ark.…”

Escobar sendromu, çeşitli solunumsal ve ortopedik problemlere neden olan nadir görülen otozomal resesif geçişli bir hastalıktır. Bu sendromda anestezistler, servikal füzyon, boyun fleksiyon kontraktürüne bağlı hareket kısıtlılığı, yarık damak, mikrognati, ankiloglossi, kısıtlı ağız açıklığı gibi anomalilere bağlı olarak hava yolu yönetiminde önemli zorluklarla karşılaşabilmektedir. Anestezistler zor hava yoluna ek olarak, operasyon sırasında anestezinin korkulan komplikasyonu olan malign hipertermi riski gibi bir sorunla karşılaşabilmektedir. Bu vakada femur şaft fraktürü nedeniyle operasyon odasına alınan bir pediatrik hastanın anestezi yönetimini sunduk. Hastamızda zor entübasyona yol açabilecek bulguların olması sebebiyle ilk denememizi video laringoskop (VL) ile yaptık ve başarılı olduk. Perioperatif herhangi bir problemle karşılaşmadık.

“…10 Furthermore, videolaryngoscopy may provide prompt assistance to the operator when performing external laryngeal manipulation or changing the stylet angle because the assistant can view the screen. 11 In addition, an electromyographic tube can be closely aligned to the vocal cords with a videolaryngoscope, enabling optimal monitoring of the nerve. 3,12 Recently, videolaryngoscopy and fiberoptic bronchoscopy have been used simultaneously to improve the success rate of difficult tracheal intubation.…”

Successful advancement of endotracheal tube with combined fiberoptic bronchoscopy and videolaryngoscopy in a patient with a huge goiter

If the presence of a goiter causes airway deformities in the supraglottic and infraglottic areas, difficult airway should be considered and airway evaluation including physical examination, radiologic studies, and indirect laryngoscopy should be preoperatively performed to determine the airway management plan. Various methods such as direct laryngoscopy, videolaryngoscopy, awake fiberoptic intubation, tracheostomy, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support have been reported to secure the airway. In most previously reported goiter cases, the upper airway patency was well maintained and the endotracheal tube was easily passed even when there was severe tracheal narrowing and deviation. We describe a case of successful combined use of videolaryngoscopy and fiberoptic bronchoscopy for advancement of an endotracheal tube through a narrow trachea due to the presence of a huge goiter.

“…Other risk factors include tracheal stenosis or deviation, and reduced mouth opening [9, 10]. These factors are in addition to the commonly known predictors of difficult intubation: Cormack-Lehane 3 or 4, increased neck circumference, and age >55 [11].…”

Intubation of a Patient with a Large Goiter: The Advantageous Role of Videolaryngoscopy

Fiberoptic bronchoscopy has long been considered the gold standard for patients who present with a difficult airway. In the case presented, a patient has a large palpable goiter and requires intubation. After the unsuccessful attempt to intubate with the use of fiberoptic bronchoscopy, the decision to switch to videolaryngoscopy afforded a positive result. We present this case to suggest that the utilization of videolaryngoscopy may be an alternative option for intubation when other methods have failed. It is imperative for anesthesiologists to understand the benefits that this modality may provide.

Case report of the use of videolaryngoscopy in thyroid goiter masses: An airway challenge

Abstract: HighlightsVideolaryngoscopy is a valuable tool in management of a difficult airway.Goiters can involve both upper and lower airway obstruction.Thyroid masses can lead to difficulty in both ventilation and intubation.
