Juvenil romatoid artrit (Still's hastalığı) ve zor entübasyon (Olgu sunumu)

Romatoid artritli hastalarda endotrakeal entübasyon zor olabileceğinden havayolu idamesi önem taşımaktadır. Akut batın ön tanısıyla acil olarak operasyona alınan ve havayolu idamesinde zorlanılan bir olguyu sunuyoruz. Bu olgu aracılığıyla, romatoid artrit'li hastalarda zor entübasyonun olası nedenlerini incelemeyi ve entübasyona alternatif yöntemleri gözden geçirmeyi amaçladık.

Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (Still's disease) and difficult intubation (Case report)

Special care must be given to the patients with rheumatoid arthritis during airway management, as endotracheal intubation may be difficult with these patients. We present a case of rheumatoid arthritis who was taken into the operation room in emergency conditions with the diagnosis of acute abdominal distention and whose airway was difficulty managed. By means of this case we aimed to examine the possible causes of difficult intubation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and to search alternative methods for the endotracheal intubation.
