Q

Signs and symptoms of Treacher Collins Syndrome

A
  • Mandibular hypoplasia
  • Microstomia
  • Cleft palate
  • Colobomas of the eye, notched lower lids, sloping palpebral fissures

27
Q

Hemifacial Microsomia, Goldenhar, and Treacher Collins Syndrome Anesthetic Considerations

A
  • Upper airway obstruction during induction and emergence
  • Difficult airway cart, ready to go
  • Inhalational induction or IV induction in older children (precedex or propofol with topical lidocaine for airway)
  • LMAs can be used successfully
28
Q

Treacher Collins Syndrome is associated with a difficult airway that increases with ______.

A

Age

29
Q

What is the triad of symptoms involved with Pierre Robin syndrome?

  • Glossoptosis (caudally displaced tongue)
  • Respiratory Distress in the first 48 hours of life
30
Q

With Pierre Robin, what airway device may be used for induction and intubation?

A

Consider LMA for induction, then nasal fiberoptic intubation

31
Q

Why are tongue sutures placed in Pierre Robin patients for retraction?

A

Caudally displaced down can cause respiratory distress
