Lesson Learnt
Just to iron any confusion, laryngeal spasm can happen to anyone, small, huge, adults, children. Prepare, prepare, prepare.
Never give children any option, they don’t know what’s best for them.
Never let paediatric nurses make the decision for the children. That one should have gotten the slap across the face, come to think of it.
Be prepared, draw up the suxomethonium EVERYTIME, ALL THE TIME.
Always have the endotracheal tube ready even if you don’t plan to tube.
Every anaesthetist will get shit like this, you just have to be in many many shits to know how to deal with different sort of shits. It’s in the job description.
It’s weird, but I still want to do this job.
