[The intubation and anesthesiological problems of patients with burns and their sequelae].

Patients with specific location of the burn lesion (head, face and neck) developing hypertrophic scars, adhesions, microstoma and other complications, are considered as high-risk patients in terms of analgesia. Not infrequently, it is a matter of the same patients in different developmental phases of the burn disease. Usually, the problems faced occur during intubation and implementation of a give type of anesthetic technique. The anesthesiologist must cope with the patient's individual peculiarities on a daily basis, and accordingly make a correct choice of the type of anesthesia. A male patient with deep facial burn, undergoing repeated surgical interventions using various types of anesthesia, is reported. The intubation and anesthesiologic problems in two children with burn sequels are discussed.
