A Novel Rescue Technique for Difficult Intubation and Difficult Ventilation
1Department of Anesthesia, Children’s Hospital of Michigan, 2Department of Anesthesia, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
We describe a technique to maintain oxygenation and ventilation using an endotracheal tube inserted nasally to the level of the naso-pharynx while sealing the mouth and nares for successful positive pressure ventilation.

We describe guidelines to perform a safe and efficient elective fiberoptic intubation in pediatric patients while maintaining spontaneous ventilation.

Propofol Decreases Waste Anesthetic Gas Exposure During Pediatric Bronchoscopy
This study compared the anesthetic gas exposure and operating conditions during insufflation anesthesia with halothane-alone versus halothane-propofol in children undergoing direct laryngobronchoscopy.
Parental Satisfaction with Anesthesia Without Intravenous Access for Myringotomy
To evaluate the effect of intravenous (i.v.) access in children undergoing bilateral myringotomy with pressure-equalizing tube placement.
Electrocautery-induced Fire During Adenotonsillectomy: Report of Two Cases
We describe two cases of flash fires in the oropharynx, secondary to electrocautery during adenotonsillectomies. We believe that in both cases, the leak around the uncuffed endotracheal tubes raised the oxygen concentration in the oropharynx. Cuffed endotracheal tubes provide many advantages, and their use should strongly be considered during adenotonsillectomy in children when electrocautery is to be used.
