Abstract

The use of supraglottic airway devices has been increasing in popularity, mostly due to their high success rate and low complications. However, there is very little information available about the potential and group specific concerns regarding their use in children. We present the first description of a child that developed subcutaneous emphysema after the use of a laryngeal mask. We believe that more awareness to the risk of perioperative adverse events with laryngeal mask insertion in the paediatric population is needed.

Keywords:
Airway management
Anaesthesia
Child
Laryngeal masks
Subcutaneous emphysema
Resumen

El uso de dispositivos supraglóticos para el manejo de la vía aérea ha aumentado en popularidad, principalmente debido a su alta tasa de éxito y bajas complicaciones. Sin embargo, hay muy poca información disponible sobre las potenciales complicaciones y específicas, con respecto a su uso en niños. Presentamos la primera descripción de un niño que desarrolló enfisema subcutáneo después del uso de una mascarilla laríngea. Creemos que se necesita una mayor conciencia del riesgo de eventos adversos perioperatorios con la inserción de mascarillas laríngeas en la población pediátrica.
