A2 - Murphy, Michael F. PY - 2017 T2 - Hung's Difficult and Failed Airway Management, 3e AB - A newborn with small bowel obstruction is taken to the operating room for an exploratory laparotomy. You are called to assist with a potentially difficult airway. Initial assessment of the newborn demonstrates a “small chin” and obvious signs of respiratory distress including tachypnea and upper airway obstruction. The baby's oxygen saturation is 91% in the supine position. The primary anesthesia practitioner suggests an “awake” intubation in light of the potential for aspiration and high likelihood of a difficult airway. What are your concerns and how would you manage this child's airway?
