Abstract
Airway management is a priority during the conduction of general anaesthesia. Generally, this can be achieved by basic or advanced airway devices. In a minority of cases, these maneuvers fail and a surgical airway is required which can either be surgical cricothyroidectomy following tracheostomy or needle cricothyroidectomy. In paediatric age group, needle cricothyroidectomy following manual jet ventilation is preferred over tracheostomy. Here we described a successful management of airway in a 4 years boy with mouth opening of less than one finger due to burn contracture of face with needle cricothyroidectomy following sander's jet ventilation.
