Author ProfileAbstract
We present two cases of general anesthesia in children with 18, 13
trisomy. One patient had difficulty with intubation and had to be
reintubated postoperatively, another developed postoperative acute
respiratory distress syndrome. The use of postoperative high-flow nasal
cannula oxygen therapy to avoid reintubation is considered a feasible
strategy.17 Aug 2022Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 17 Aug 2022Submission Checks Completed
