| Popis: |
A new born baby boy presented with birth asphyxia and respiratory distress. He went into cardiac arrest twice but was resuscitated. On detailed evaluation, he had low set ears and micrognathia with glossoptosis consistent with features of Pierre Robin sequence. Episodes of apnoea disappeared, on nursing, the baby in prone position and later on tongue-lip retention suture were applied. Prompt diagnosis and efficient airway management by following the principles of airway resuscitation can save the lives of such babies without specialized care. |
