Anterior mediastinal mass presents an airway challenge due to its relative size in a paediatric chest and its invasion and compression of the surrounding structures. We present a case of a toddler with airway obstruction secondary to an anterior mediastinal mass. We describe how the use of an armoured endotracheal tube helped with ventilation while waiting for steroids and chemotherapy to reduce the tumour size and compression.
前纵隔肿块因其在小儿胸部的相对大小以及对周围结构的侵犯和压迫，给气道带来挑战。我们报告了一例因前纵隔肿块导致气道阻塞的幼儿病例。我们描述了在等待类固醇和化疗药物缩小肿瘤大小和减轻压迫的过程中，使用带装甲的气管导管如何帮助通气。
