Airway Assessment

The key to success in patients with difficult airway is effective airway assessment and meticulous planning. Making use of simple and time-tested equipment and modifying these methods accordingly enable successful airway control avoiding perioperative morbidity and mortality . We report a case of 75 year old male with posterior urethral stricture planned for perineal urethroplasty with anticipated difficult airway. The airway was managed using video laryngoscopy and the procedure was uneventful with good postoperative recovery. This case report insists on making use of other conventional methods in the effective management of an anticipated difficult airway during a pandemic.

Difficult Airways

Video laryngoscopy has opened its way into airway management and continues to play a larger role in managing patients with difficult airway. Anesthesiologists use video laryngoscopy more often every day and therefore accept the risks of more challenging and difficult airway situations with more confidence. In the mentioned case below, a 45-year-old female with a large thyroid mass is presented to an academic based hospital, for elective thyroidectomy. The patient was intubated using a video laryngoscopy technique and the airway was secured. Video laryngoscopy helps secure difficult airways and could be chosen as first line option in such situations.

Unusual Situation

In the operating room, unanticipated difficult intubation can occur and anesthesiologists can experience challenging situations. Undiagnosed tracheal stenosis caused by congenital factors, trauma, tumors, or post-intubation injury, can make advancing the endotracheal tube difficult. We present an adult patient in whom we were unable to pass an endotracheal tube into the trachea. This was caused by undiagnosed congenital mid-tracheal stenosis with complete tracheal rings. When faced with an unanticipated difficult airway, the anesthesiologist needs to comprehend the results of preoperative evaluations. If an unusual situation (e.g., congenital tracheal stenosis) occurs, active cooperation with other departments should be considered.

AbstractAirway management of patients with craniofacial vascular malformations poses many challenges. Establishment of a secure airway is a prerequisite for safe anesthetic management of these patients. We report a case of a 45-year-old man presenting with a facial vascular malformation involving the tongue, parapharynx, and extending into the neck, resulting in airway compromise scheduled for endovascular embolization.
