Implication

Case report demonstrates successful tracheal intubation using a modified laryngeal mask airway in a neonate with Pierre Robin syndrome, highlighting a less traumatic approach for difficult airways.

Key Points

To describe an alternative technique for tracheal intubation using a modified laryngeal mask airway as a guide in a neonate with Pierre Robin syndrome.
Case report of a small-for-date newborn boy presenting with Pierre Robin syndrome and a difficult airway.
A modified size 1 laryngeal mask airway was inserted to serve as a conduit for directing an endotracheal tube into the trachea.
Tracheal intubation was achieved successfully using the guided approach without requiring multiple conventional laryngoscopy attempts.
The procedure was less traumatic and less time-consuming than repeated direct laryngoscopy or blind intubation.
