Anaesthesia for Laryngoscopy and Bronchoscopy in Children

BRIAN KAY MD, FFARCS1 and DAVID ALLAN MD1

1 Children's Memorial Hospital, Chicago, Illinois

Some of the optimal surgical requirements for anaesthesia for bronchoscopy and laryngoscopy in children are considered. Some limitations of several previously suggested methods of anaesthesia are observed, and a means of producing the required operating conditions suggested, using anaesthetic agents with the most suitable pharmacological properties. It is suggested that anaesthesia of the larynx and trachea is best produced by precise topical applications of 4 per cent lignocaine, and unconsciousness best provided by the recovery period following induction with methoxyflurane.
