A new diagnostic approach to congenital stridor using a laryngeal mask airway and rigid endoscope
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
Neonates with symptoms of stridor from birth, present a difficult diagnostic problem. We have demonstrated that by the use of a laryngeal mask airway in an anaesthetized baby breathing spontaneously, we are able to reach a diagnosis. This is accomplished by the introduction of a rigid fibre-optic endoscope through a Portex swivel connector and visualizing the glottis and larynx.
