Anesthesia Induction and Reflections for a Giant Floor of Mouth Mass in an Infant: A Case Report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Infants possess unique anatomical and physiological characteristics that increase the risk of severe hypoxemia during airway management. A floor of mouth mass causing tongue displacement may directly induce airway obstruction, further elevating anesthetic risks. This report details the anesthesia induction strategy for a 3-month-old infant with a giant floor of mouth mass, discussing safe airway establishment in pediatric difficult airways.
