Management of Anesthesia in a Child with a Large Neck Rhabdoid Tumor.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper was to report the management of anesthesia of a child with a large neck rhabdoid tumor.
CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION: A 9-month- old female patient underwent urgent neck tumor excision due to intratumoral bleeding from a large tumor that compressed and dislocated the trachea; therefore, intubation was expected to be difficult. Sevoflurane inhalation induction was utilized to maintain spontaneous respiration. Oral laryngoscopy revealed Cormack-Lehane grade 3 laryngeal view. The trachea was intubated using a reinforced tube on the third attempt. Fiberoptic bronchoscope-assisted intubation was planned as an alternative in case of conventional intubation failure. Anticipation of massive blood loss necessitated central venous catheterization.
CONCLUSION: Establishing a safe airway, intubation during spontaneous breathing and invasive hemodynamic monitoring are crucial factors in the anesthetic management of pediatric patients with a large neck tumor.
