Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the head and neck present significant challenges due to airway management complexities and hemorrhage risks. This case report describes a 15-year-old female with a congenital facial AVM causing dyspnea and obstructive symptoms. The patient required angioembolization of the AVM, but many hospitals deferred the procedure due to the anticipated difficult airway and severe bleeding risks.

Perioperative and critical care management following penetrating thoracic trauma represents a complex challenge. Those who survive the early trauma approach and reach the hospital alive often remain in critical condition, with cardiocirculatory complications and major pulmonary injuries. Additional difficulty arises from the presence of a weapon , particularly in a dorsal location, which limits patient positioning, and the safe manipulation of both the weapon and the patient.

We present a case of an infant patient with Robin sequence (Pierre Robin sequence; PRS) who underwent general anesthesia for a glossopexy procedure. Pediatric patients with PRS are prone to upper airway obstruction during general anesthesia induction and intubation difficulties due to micrognathia and glossoptosis. In this case, we facilitated mask ventilation by inserting a nasopharyngeal airway before induction and successfully intubated the patient using a 2-person technique that combined the use of a video laryngoscope and a flexible fiber-optic scope.

Background: The difficult airway is frequently encountered across many scenarios. The extreme form is a "cannot intubate and cannot oxygenate" scenario, which lacks a reliable rescue technique. Previous case reports or studies with small sample sizes indicate the feasibility and efficiency of an endotracheal tube in the pharynx (TTIP) to ventilate patients.
