Laryngeal papillomatosis is a rare disease, caused by human papilloma virus infection. It can present with various respiratory signs and symptoms, including but not limited to hoarseness, respiratory distress, and stridor. Anesthetic management of this condition is challenging due to multiple factors such as shared airway with the ear, nose, and throat surgeon, potential difficult airway, and associated complications related to jet ventilation and/or laser use in the airway. The chapter discusses the most important and clinically relevant facts related to this condition. Topics covered include difficult airway, airway laser airway fire, jet ventilation, and barotrauma. A case study of a 55-year-old overweight male patient who presents to the operating room for an elective removal of his recurrent laryngeal papillomas is used as an example.

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.

Anesthetic management of patients with severe pulmonary hypertension combined with a difficult airway is challenging. The present case suggests that the use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is useful for safe anesthetic management.

Omphalocele, exstrophy of cloaca, imperforate anus, and spinal defect (OEIS) complex is an extremely rare congenital anomaly (1:2,00,000–1:4,00,000) comprising of OEIS. The associated anomalies pose multiple challenges during the anesthetic administration. We are reporting anesthetic management of a baby born with this rare syndrome, posted for an emergency surgery on the 1st day of life. Anesthetic management of a neonate with this complex and difficult airway in this relation has never been discussed previously.
