A 2-year-old male with Poland-Moebius syndrome was transferred from a local hospital to the Pediatric ICU at Children's Hospital of Georgia for suspected postobstructive pulmonary edema (POPE) after tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy (T&A). The patient's respiratory status ultimately declined and he
BACKGROUND
Our institute caters to a large number of patients with large, longstanding multinodular goiters; tracheal deviation and resulting airway problems like tracheomalacia are relatively common. However, the literature is sparse on the criteria of early diagnosis and optimum management of
A survey was used to gather information regarding airway management patterns in thermally injured children. North American pediatric burn centers listed by the American Burn Association were sent a survey designed to examine patterns of pediatric airway management in children with acute respiratory
OBJECTIVE
To quantify the prevalence and the impact of synchronous airway lesions identified by endoscopy in infants undergoing supraglottoplasty for severe laryngomalacia (LM).
METHODS
Retrospective study.
METHODS
Tertiary care pediatric hospital.
METHODS
Sixty patients who underwent
From march 1989 to march 1992, three hundred and fifty six respiratory endoscopies were performed at "Hospital da Criança Santo Antônio", Porto Alegre, Brazil. The endoscopies were performed with a rigid pediatric bronchoscope and under general anaesthesia. The most common indications for endoscopy
OBJECTIVE
To determine possible indications for tracheotomy in the burned child based on bronchoscopic and laryngoscopic findings.
METHODS
A retrospective case study of all patients admitted to a tertiary children's burn center.
METHODS
All children admitted with burn inhalation injury between 1990
Kniest dysplasia is a type of chondrodysplasia characterized by severe craniofacial abnormalities including tracheomalacia, midface hypoplasia, and cleft palate.We previously described a 6-year-old girl with Kniest dysplasia, in whom glottic edema rapidly Among 1,000 operated goiters excluding hyperthyroidism, 45 were compressives (4,5%). Epidemiologic factors were elderly patients, ancient unoperated goiters and recidivism of formerly operated goiters. 1. Prognosis is not hopeless since 60% of compressive goiters were benign. On the other hand, the
A 3-month-old female infant was admitted because of tachypnea and retractive breathing. Chest X-ray and computed tomography demonstrated right pneumo- thorax and severe subglottic stenosis. She was sched- uled for chest drainage and diagnostic fiberoptic bron- choscopy (FOB), and securing airway by
Inhalation injuries are currently the factor most responsible for mortality in thermally injured patients. Inhalation injuries may occur independently, but generally occur together with skin burn. Smoke inhalation affects all levels of the respiratory system and the extent of the inhalation injury
Thyroidectomy is the most common endocrine surgical procedure being carried out throughout the world. Besides, many patients who have deranged thyroid physiology, namely hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, have to undergo various elective and emergency surgical procedures at some stage of their
Stem/progenitor cells can be used to repair defects in the airway wall, resulting from e.g., tumors, trauma, tissue reactions following long-time intubations, or diseases that are associated with epithelial damage. Several potential sources of cells for airway epithelium have been identified. These
BACKGROUND
Pediatric tracheal procedures are uncommon. We reviewed our experience to clarify management and results.
METHODS
Retrospective single-institution review of pediatric tracheal operations, 1978 to 2001.
RESULTS
One hundred sixteen children were evaluated, mean age 10.4 years (10 days to 18
OBJECTIVE
To define the indications for tracheotomy in patients requiring prolonged intubation (>1 week) in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
METHODS
Retrospective chart review and follow-up telephone survey.
METHODS
A tertiary care center PICU.
METHODS
Tracheotomy or extubation.
METHODS

To describe the findings, resulting changes in management, and safety profile of flexible bronchoscopy in the neonates with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia.This was a retrospective case series of twenty-seven neonates with severe bronchopulmonary
