We present 3 clinical cases of pediatric patients with craniofacial malformations. Although amenable to ventilation, they had a history of difficult orotracheal intubation during previous interventions but were managed successfully with the Airtraq videolaryngoscope. Although this device has not been studied to a large extent in pediatrics, there are different sizes suitable for patient age. This, together with ease of use, fast learning curve and successful approach to the difficult airway in the few published studies, has contributed to turn it into a primary and rescue technique when the initial approach has failed in situations of difficult pediatric airway.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen La vía aérea difícil (VAD) en pediatría representa un reto para el anestesiólogo debido a la dificultad para realizar una valoración adecuada de la misma, a los escasos algoritmos de manejo, al desconocimiento de su incidencia exacta, asociado a las limitaciones que tienen los diferentes dispositivos en este grupo de pacientes. Presentamos tres casos clínicos pediátricos de malformaciones craneofaciales; se trata de pacientes ventilables, pero con antecedentes de dificultad en la intubación orotraqueal en intervenciones previas que fueron posteriormente manejados con éxito con el videolaringoscopio Airtraq. Aunque este dispositivo ha sido poco estudiado en pediatría, existen diferentes tamaños adaptados a la edad del paciente, que, junto a su rápido aprendizaje, facilidad de manejo y el acceso exitoso en la VAD en los escasos estudios publicados; lo están convirtiendo en una técnica primaria o de rescate cuando ha fallado la técnica inicial en situaciones de VAD en pediatría.]]></p></abstract>
