Wire-Aided Reintubation Following Rigid Bronchoscopy: A Safe Technique.

ABSTRACT

The management of a neonate with a known difficult airway is a challenge to any clinician. We report a four-day-old neonate with a known difficult airway, who presented to us for rigid bronchoscopy. We used an innovative, economical and easily available adult central venous line guidewire to secure the airway and reintubate the child.
