[Anesthetic management of a pediatric patient with a laryngeal foreign body].
Laryngeal foreign bodies in children are less common than bronchial foreign bodies, but are more dangerous. We report an 8-month-old boy who accidentally inhaled an open safety pin into his larynx. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with sevoflurane, oxygen. No muscle relaxant was administered during operation. The open safety pin was removed with Jackson's esophagoscope. No complications were observed during the operation.
