Y1 - 2012 N1 - T2 - Management of the Difficult and Failed Airway, 2e AB - As an anesthesia practitioner, you were in a developing country on a short-term, 2-week mission with a team of plastic and maxillofacial surgeons. The team's mandate was to operate on patients with unrepaired cleft lips and palates. As word spread in the area of the team's successes, on the final day of the mission a 12-year-old boy was brought to the clinic. One year before, the boy had sustained significant burns to his lower face, neck, and chest. No surgical remediation had been undertaken and he now had severe burn contractures (Figure 56-1).
