BACKGROUND: This case highlights challenges in the assessment and management of
the "difficult airway" patient in the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic era.
METHODS: A 60-year-old male with history of recent transoral robotic surgery
resection, free flap reconstruction, and tracheostomy for p16+ squamous cell
carcinoma presented with stridor and dyspnea 1 month after decannulation. Careful
planning by a multidisciplinary team allowed for appropriate staffing and
personal protective equipment, preparations for emergency airway management,
evaluation via nasopharyngolaryngoscopy, and COVID testing. The patient was found
to be COVID negative and underwent imaging which revealed new pulmonary nodules
and a tracheal lesion. RESULTS: The patient was safely transorally intubated in
the operating room. The tracheal lesion was removed endoscopically and
tracheostomy was avoided. CONCLUSIONS: This case highlights the importance of
careful and collaborative decision making for the management of head and neck
cancer and other "difficult airway" patients during the COVID-19 epidemic.
