Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder. The diagnosis should be suspected in an infant who has meconium ileus or infants presenting to the operating room with volvulus. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by frequent mucous plugging in the respiratory tract which may manifest as wheezing and frequent intermittent flare-ups of respiratory decompensation. Optimization of the affected child’s respiratory status prior to elective surgery is mandatory to prevent difficulty with intraoperative ventilation. While the laryngeal mask airway may be used for short procedures, the use of an endotracheal tube facilitates suctioning of the frequently inspissated secretions that accompany cystic fibrosis in order to optimize ventilation.
