ABSTRACT

Introduction: The acquired subglottic stenosis secondary to prolonged endotracheal intubation affect airway in patients pediatric should obstruction and reduced airflow in upper airway, result: hypoxemia, hypercarbia, respiratory acidosis and difficulty respiratory. The management anesthetic in patients is able complicated treat of intubation because a reduced cavity and who in occasions not accountant with sounding endotracheal and/or laryngeal mask airway of number appropriate, are to have though use resources alternative. Report two cases of patients with subglottic stenosis between 70 and 80%. Submit anesthetics technical with management airway in base of use sounding endotracheal and laryngeal mask airway ProSeal. Conclusions: The management anesthetic in patients with subglottic stenosis is important maintenance airway; avoid obstruction, desaturation and laryngoespasm. The laryngeal mask airway ProSeal is an alternative in subglottic stenosis.
