Demonstrates effective airway strategy in pediatric TMJ ankylosis, suggesting improved safety in anesthesia.
Nasopharyngeal airway-assisted inhalational anesthesia followed by fiberoptic nasal intubation is a safe, reproducible primary airway strategy in pediatric TMJ ankylosis. The technique preserves oxygenation, depth of anesthesia, minimizes repeated instrumentation, and is particularly useful in resource-limited settings. Postoperative airway planning remains essential in syndromic infants.
