Compression tracheale par une masse mediastinale chez l'enfant Interet de la fibroscopie tracheobronchique pour la prise en charge anesthesique #MMPMID7486282

Due to the action of the drugs and the position of the patient, general anaesthesia in a child with a mediastinal tumor can complete the obstruction of the trachea and/or the main bronchi and possibly result in irreversible respiratory failure. The risk is directly linked to the degree of lumen amputation of the trachea, usually evaluated by CT-scan: there is a risk of accident if the degree of lumen amputation is greater than 30%. The case reports underline the value of the flexible fibreoptic bronchoscopy under local anaesthesia. This examination, as well as the CT-scan, allows to evaluate the degree of tracheal compression. Moreover, it carries a lower risk than the CT-scan which requires, in a small child, either general anaesthesia or heavy premedication which could lead to asphyxia. Total obstruction most often occurs with anterior mediastinal tumors. However, even posterior or lateral tumors can extend to an anterior position, especially in the young child. If the obstruction of the lumen is greater than 30% and if general anaesthesia is required, the fibreoptic bronchoscopy allows endotracheal intubation under local anaesthesia before general anaesthesia. We report 5 cases which illustrate the risk of tracheal compression during general anaesthesia in patients with a mediastinal tumor and substantiate the advantages of a flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope in the management of these patients before and during general anaesthesia.
