Description

The incidence of perianesthetic airway/respiratory complications was evaluated in 58 pediatric patients with specific congenital diseases such as inborn errors. Twenty-one cases (36.2%) were complicated with airway/respiratory troubles: difficult intubation and difficult airway support. Most of the troubles (65.4%) occurred during the induction of the anesthesia. The complications did not correlate with sex, age or anesthetic method. The more times the patients were anesthetized, the more they had complications.<br>For pediatric cases with specific congenital disease, particularly those which require repeated anesthesia, it is important to be very alert for airway troubles.
