ABSTRACT

Background and objectives - Tracheal intubation of children with Pierre Robin Syndrome is often very difficulty. The purpose of this study was to test an "ultra-thin"flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope for intubation of children with Pierre Robin Syndrome. Methods - Twenty children with Pierre robin syndrome aged from 14 days to 1 year and 8 months were submitted to general anesthesia for fixation of the tongue to the lower lip os its release. The intubations were managed with an "ultra-thin" flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope with a diameter of 2.2 mm at the distal tip. Results - There were no failed prodecures and the average intubation time was 46.45 seconds. Two children had a transient reduction in oxygen saturation. Conclusions - It is concluded that the procedure as practiced by experienced anesthesiologists is a valuable instrument for intubation of children with Pierre Robin Syndrome

ABSTRACT

A eficácia do laringoscópio de fibra óptica na intubação traqueal "difícil" foi testada em quatorze pacientes portadores de anquilose de articulação têmporo-mandibular sem outras patologias concomitantes e com amplitude de abertura bucal entre 0 e 2 cm. Os resultados mostraram que o método é eficaz em 100 por cento dos casos, com um tempo médio de intubação de 91,43 segundo, sem alterações importantes dos parâmetros hemodinâmicos, da saturação do oxigênio arterial e sem manifestação de arritimias. Houve sangramento em seis (42,8 por cento) das intubações realizadas. Os autores concluem que fatores como o alto custo de equipamento e a necessidade de habilidade técnica para seu manuseio não devem representar obstáculos para sua ampla utilização pelos serviços de anestesiologia.
