Abstract

The endotracheal intubation is an ideal method to reach the aerial way during the cardiopulmonary reanimation. Nevertheless, sometimes it is impossible to make, even for the most experienced hands. For that reason, we prepared this presentation of a case, aimed to describe the behavior with a young child who could not be intubated through direct laryngoscopy, and needed to have an artificial aerial way. We reviewed the literature and took into consideration the opinions of some authors. We concluded that laryngeal mask is an alternative for ventilation and oxygenation during pediatric cardiopulmonary reanimation when it is impossible to intubate the trachea when there are not contraindications for that.
