Management of the difficult pediatric airway with Shikani Optical Stylet

Mohanad Shukry et al. Paediatr Anaesth. 2005 Apr.

Abstract

The airways of children with many craniofacial and mandibulofacial malformations often present unique challenges to the anesthesiologists. We report the application of Shikani Optical Stylet (SOS) in facilitating the tracheal intubation of four children with history of difficult airway management. The SOS combines the benefits of the lightwand and fiberoptic bronchoscope.
