Difficult intubation in syndromic versus nonsyndromic forms of micrognathia in children
Authors' conclusion
Presence of syndrome was not associated with lower first-attempt success rate on intubation, number of intubation attempts, or complication rate among micrognathic patients difficult to intubate, despite more associated craniofacial abnormalities.
