Congenital subglottic stenosis is a rare but potentially catastrophic condition. In this report, we describe the management of a term neonate who was noted to have biphasic stridor during preassessment for correction of an imperforate anus at 26 hours of life. The neonate was found to have a pinhole trachea secondary to congenital subglottic stenosis. It was impossible to pass an endotracheal tube, so the neonate underwent an emergency surgical tracheostomy with a good outcome. A high index of suspicion led to appropriate steps being taken to safely anaesthetise the neonate.
先天性声门下狭窄是一种罕见但潜在的灾难性疾病。在本报告中,我们描述了一名足月新生儿的管理,该新生儿在出生后 26 小时因肛门闭锁接受矫正术的预评估中出现双相喘鸣。该新生儿被发现存在因先天性声门下狭窄导致的针孔状气管。插入气管内导管是不可能的,因此该新生儿接受了紧急手术气管切开术,结果良好。高度怀疑导致采取了适当措施,以安全麻醉新生儿。
