Abstract :
Airway damages encountered during endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy may cause some complications such as severe dyspnea. Upper airway diagnostic endoscopy was planned to find the etiology of effort dyspnea in a 5 years old girl who had endotracheal intubation been performed during newborn period. Her ASA score was 1, and Mallampati score for preoperative airway evaluation was 1. Physical examination revealed neither dyspnea nor stridor while the patient was not exerting effort. Her chest radiograms were normal. She had no history of previous surgical or anesthetical intervention. In this report we presented a difficult intubation during the endoscopic examination of upper airway in a patient who had dyspnea while exerting effort.
