Abstract
PERIOPERATIVE laryngospasm is an anesthetic emergency that is still responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients.1 It is a relatively frequent complication that occurs with varying frequency dependent on multiple factors.2 – 5 Once the diagnosis has been made, the main goals are identifying and removing the offending stimulus, applying airway maneuvers to open the airway, and administering anesthetic agents if the obstruction is not relieved. The purpose of this case scenario is to highlight key points essential for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of laryngospasm occurring during anesthesia.
