Intubation is a skill that both anesthesiologists and intensivists use daily. We present a case of a neonate that developed significant worsening stridor after a successful intubation for a hernia repair. After 4 intubation attempts, with easy visualization of the vocal cords and unsuccessful placement of the endotracheal tube, the patient was emergently brought to the operating room for evaluation.展开更多

This method eliminates the endotracheal tube as a fuel for a potential fire. However, little has been published on its use in the pediatric population. Our case report describes its use in a 2-year-old undergoing micro-direct laryngoscopy with CO<sub>2</sub> assisted supraglottoplasty and rigid bronchoscopy for airway obstruction from congenital laryngomalacia. The STRIVE-Hi technique was modified for the pediatric patient by using a lower flow through the nasal cannula (4 L). No major changes in SpO<sub>2</sub> were detected during the 30-minute procedure. With back up airway safety equipment in place, STRIVE is proving to be a safe technique with major advantages when used in this unique scenario.展开更多
