AUTHORS: Kovatch, Kevin J. MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: February 2020 – Volume 130 – Issue 2 – p 445-451 BACKGROUND: Pediatric-specific difficult airway guidelines include algorithms for 3 scenarios: unanticipated difficult tracheal intubation, difficult mask ventilation, and cannot intubate/cannot ventilate. While rare, these instances may require front-of-neck access (FONA) to secure an airway […]

MD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia: February 2020 – Volume 130 – Issue 2 – p 409-415 BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive fetal surgery is commonly performed to treat twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome with selective fetoscopic laser photocoagulation and twin-reversed arterial perfusion sequence using radiofrequency ablation. Although an increasing number of centers worldwide are […]
