Difficult endotracheal intubation is a rare situation. Here we report a difficult endotracheal intubation case in a three year-old girl with chronic lung disease and severe pneumonia who was admitted to our paediatric intensive care unit. Since the patient could not be intubated and effectively ventilated by the standart methods, a size 2 LMA was inserted. In this case, LMA provided a good airway control and effective ventilation.

Zor endotrakeal entübasyon seyrek olarak görülür. Bu sunumda kronik akciger hastalığı ve pnömonisi nedeniyle pediatrik yoğun bakım servisine kabul edilen ve endotrakeal entübasyon güçlüğü ile karsılasılan 3 yasındaki çocuk hasta rapor edildi. Hasta standart metodlarla entübe edilemediği ve yeterli ventilasyon sağlanamadığı için, 2 numara LMA yerlestirildi. Havayolu kontrolü sağlanarak etkin ventilasyona baslandı.
