Abstract

The case was a 4-day-old boy referred to the hospital with a diagnosis of Pierre Robin Sequence and with airway Obstruction. Using a laryngoscope in the hyperextended position and putting pressure on the cricoid, the vocal cords were visualized, and with the help of an assistant, the intubation was performed.
