Article Synopsis
- Children with trisomy 18 have complex airway issues that complicate anesthesia, and there is limited literature on using supraglottic airway devices for them.
- A case study of a 20-month-old boy with trisomy 18 undergoing hernia repair demonstrated successful use of a supraglottic airway device alongside a nerve block for pain management.
- The findings suggest that supraglottic airway devices can serve as a viable primary airway option for minor surgeries in children with trisomy 18, especially when combined with methods to maintain spontaneous breathing.
