Perioperative Airway Management for Midface Surgery in Children With Syndromic Craniosynostosis; a Single Center Experience With Immediate Extubation
Despite the pre-existing airway disorder, the extent of the procedure and the effect of anesthesia on airway tone, all patients were extubated immediately after midface advancement, with only one young patient needing prolonged postoperative support. Immediate extubation is feasible following midface advancement in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis. Further prospective randomized trials are needed to demonstrate superiority to delayed extubation.
