Ma Isabel Fernández-Jurado et al. Paediatr Anaesth. 2002 May.

Abstract

We present the case report of a preterm, low weight newborn with dysmorphic features and micrognathia in whom a laryngeal mask airway was inserted and maintained for 44 h for ventilatory support after several failed intubations. No complications associated with laryngeal mask airway use were apparent.
