Dexmetedomidine-propofol for tubeless spontaneous respiration technique in an 8 week old infant with congenital subglottic cyst, laryngotracheomalacia and tracheal hemangioma
Laryngomalacia is a common cause of stridor in infants, however concomitant congenital subglottic cyst and tra- cheal hemangioma are both rare. We describe the mana- gement of an 8-week old infant presenting with three congenital airway lesions who underwent direct la- ryngoscopy and bronchoscopy under dexmedetomidine- propofol total intravenous anesthesia in a tubeless spon- taneous respiration technique.
