          Abstract

          Tracheomalacia is characterised by collapse of the tracheal wall with respiration. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) can be utilised for evaluation of airway abnormalities but providing sedation/anaesthesia for CTA in such a case carries the risk of airway catastrophe. We describe the anaesthetic management of an infant who had tracheomalacia with >90% collapse in lower two third of the intrathoracic trachea as diagnosed on videobronchoscpy and was scheduled for CTA.

          An Update on Diagnosis of Tracheomalacia in Children.

          Deborah Snijders, Angelo Barbato (2015)
          Congenital tracheomalacia is the most common congenital tracheal abnormality and occurs in approximately 1:2,100 children. Tracheomalacia can be isolated or associated with other airway anomalies such as laryngomalacia, bronchomalacia, and large laryngeal clefts. Also, an abnormal division of the embryonic foregut is frequently associated with congenital tracheomalacia; mostly in the form of proximal esophageal atresia with distal tracheoesophageal fistula. In such cases, the ratio between the cartilage ring and the posterior membranous wall drops from the normal ratio of 4 to 5:1 to 2 to 3:1. The diagnosis can be made upon clinical history and physical examination as well as by pulmonary function testing, computed tomography, dynamic magnetic resonance imaging, and fiberoptic bronchoscopy. Other approaches such as tracheobronchography have been used, but have not been validated for the diagnosis of tracheomalacia; fluoroscopy can be specific for diagnosing tracheomalacia, but lacks a reasonable sensitivity. Tracheomalacia is often self-limited and will resolve or become asymptomatic by the second year of life without intervention. For patients who remain symptomatic, possible treatments include pharmacotherapy, positive pressure application, and surgery.

              The Management of Cyanotic Spells in Children with Oesophageal Atresia

              Mathieu Bergeron, Aliza P Cohen, Robin T. Cotton (2017)
              Cyanotic spells, also known as blue spells, dying spells, or apparent life-threatening events, refer to a bluish tone visible in the mucosal membranes and skin caused by an oxygen decrease in the peripheral circulation. Although this decrease may be transient and benign, it may also be indicative of a severe underlying problem that requires immediate intervention. Children with oesophageal atresia (OA) are at risk for a number of coexisting conditions that may trigger cyanotic spells. This current article will focus on the management of cyanotic spells both in children with innominate artery compression and those with tracheomalacia.
