Use of the DCI video laryngoscope system in a pediatric patient with amniotic band syndrome and craniofacial abnormalities affecting the airway.

A 14 month old, 19 kg female infant with aminotic band syndrome and severe craniofacial malformations presented for placement of an open gastrostomy tube. Spontaneous ventilation was maintained while an "awake look" was performed with the video laryngoscope using intravenous propofol (30 mg total) for sedation. A Grade I Cormack-Lehane score was obtained on the monitor. Succinylcholine was then administered intravenously and orotracheal intubation was performed on the first attempt with a size 4.5 endotracheal tube. Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
