Abstract
A small flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope was used for laryngeal examination in a series of neonates and infants; 104 laryngoscopies were performed in 59 patients. A high yield of diagnostic information was obtained in both postextubation patients and patients presenting with upper airway obstruction. No major complications were observed. This technique is useful in the evaluation of neonates and infants with potential upper airway problems.Keywords
