The ultra-thin bronchoscope in management of the difficult paediatric airway

PP Kleeman, JP Jantzen and P Bonfils
Department of Anaesthesiology, Johannes-Gutenberg-University Medical School, Mainz, Federal Republic of Germany.

The use of an ultra-thin flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope with a single lumen diameter of 2.7 mm at the distal tip to assist intubation of paediatric patients with a difficult airway is reported. Two patients (ages 30 months and 18 months) with mandibular hypoplasia and one patient (three months) with the Pierre-Robin syndrome are reported. In each case two fiberoptic bronchoscopes were used. The first allowed introduction of topical local anaesthetic while the second and smaller one was used for tube placement.
