laryngomalacia/hypoxia

We evaluated 15 infants with laryngomalacia and 12 healthy infants to determine their risk of hypoxia and hypercapnia as complications of partial upper airway obstruction. Transcutaneous carbon dioxide pressure and oxygen pressure were recorded continuously overnight with episodes of hypercapnia

Six patients with severe laryngomalacia underwent epiglottoplasty. Four of these patients had life-threatening episodes of airway obstruction before surgery; of these, two had required tracheal intubation and one had required cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Two patients had failure to thrive and two

OBJECTIVE To explore our experience of anesthetic management for pediatric congenital laryngomalacia operation. METHODS A total of 27 pediatric patients with congenital laryngomalacia were treated at our hospital between December 2010 and November 2012. All patients were anesthetized by intravenous

Laryngomalacia is the most common cause of stridor in newborns, affecting 45-75% of all infants with congenital stridor. The spectrum of disease presentation, progression, and outcomes is varied. Identifying symptoms and patient factors that influence disease severity helps predict outcomes.

Marshall-Smith syndrome is a rare clinical disorder characterized by accelerated bone maturation, dysmorphic facial features, airway abnormalities and death in early infancy because of respiratory complications. Although patients with Marshall-Smith syndrome have several features with potential

One hundred and forty-one flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopies were performed in 124 pediatric patients in Chang Gung Children's Hospital between October 1991 and September 1994. Eleven of these patients were younger than 1 month old; 52 patients were younger than 1 year old; 94 patients were younger

Flexible fibroscopy is the method of choice in the diagnosis of upper airway (UA) pathologies. Some Authors believe that it should be carried out under local anaesthesia even in children less than one year of age. In this article, the Authors report on their experience with general anaesthesia,

The most common causes of laryngeal stridor are laryngomalacia (60%), vocal cord paralysis (VCP) (10 %) and subglottic laryngeal stenosis. Majority of cases of VCP are idiopathic, less frequently it is the effect of abnormalities in central nervous system (Arnold - Chiari syndrome, hydrocephalus,

Objective To determine common polysomnographic (PSG) diagnoses for children referred by otolaryngologists. Study Design Retrospective case series with chart review. Setting Single tertiary pediatric hospital (2010-2015). Subjects and Methods Review of the medical records of 1258 patients undergoing

Diazoxide is commonly used in the treatment of neonatal hyperinsulinism. We describe a one month-old infant who was treated with diazoxide for prolonged neonatal hyperinsulinism. Shortly after starting diazoxide, she was admitted to the hospital for tachypnea with hypoxemia, and was subsequently
