ABSTRACT

Difficult endotracheal intubation is a rare situation. Here we report a difficult endotracheal intubation case in a three year-old girl with chronic lung disease and severe pneumonia who was admitted to our paediatric intensive care unit. Since the patient could not be intubated and effectively ventilated by the standart methods, a size 2 LMA was inserted. In this case, LMA provided a good airway control and effective ventilation.

Keywords:

Difficult intubation, laringeal mask, pediatric patient
