%X Background: An infant with a large subglottic papilloma that caused severe respiratory distress needed anesthesia during resection of the papilloma. Aims: We planned an approach to the airway management this infant that we thought would be successful. Methods: We used three main tactics in managing the airway ¨C inhaled sevoflurane, intravenous fentanyl and the patient¡¯s resumed spontaneous breathing. We also allowed the otolaryngologist to quickly resect some of the papilloma before intubation. Results: Our patient¡¯s airway was managed successfully, and the papilloma was removed. Conclusions: Management of the airway in a small child with obstruction can be aided by inducing anesthesia with sevoflurane, deepening anesthesia with intravenous fentanyl, and allowing the patient to resume spontaneous breathing.
