Pediatric Anticipated Difficult Intubation
3 week old male with Pierre Robin sequence presents for placement of mandibular distractorsExamination indicates limited mouth opening and a recessed jawInitial Approach may include:
Into OR, monitors placedInhaled induction with O2, N2O, and SevofluranePeripheral IV placedStart propofol infusion at 150 mcg/kg/minDecrease Sevoflurane to maintain spontaneous ventilationProceed with oral fiberoptic intubation or place LMA as a conduit for fiberoptic intubation

Method in the OR
IV access or inhaled induction then IV accessDeepen anesthetic with propofolTitrate propofol and inhaled agent to maintain spontaneous ventilationWatch for change in ventilation which can be apnea, obstruction, laryngospasmConsider atropine (0.01 mg/kg minimum 0.1 mg)Consider Lidocaine (1 mg/kg) prior to intubation attempt

Primary Plan
Maintain spontaneous ventilationIncremental reversible sedation
Versed 0.05mg/kgFentanyl .5-1mcg/kgConsider Ketamine
Just as dangerous as muscle relaxants Propofol, barbiturates,
IV lidocaine 1-2 min prior to instrumentation of the airway. The timing of administration Potential toxicity Low potency
