Airway management for an uncooperative patient with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa

H Ishimura et al. Anaesth Intensive Care. 1998 Feb.

Abstract

We describe a case of an unco-operative patient with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa in whom difficult tracheal intubation was anticipated and fibreoptic bronchoscope guided tracheal intubation was successfully achieved after induction of general anaesthesia. Other problems in airway management associated with this disorder are discussed.
