An infant with a large subglottic papilloma that caused severe respiratory distress needed anesthesia during resection of the papilloma.;We planned an approach to the airway management this infant that we thought would be successful.;We used three main tactics in managing the airway - inhaled sevoflurane, intravenous fentanyl and the patient's resumed spontaneous breathing. We also allowed the otolaryngologist to quickly resect some of the papilloma before intubation.;Our patient's airway was managed successfully, and the papilloma was removed.;Management of the airway in a small child with obstruction can be aided by inducing anesthesia with sevoflurane, deepening anesthesia with intravenous fentanyl, and allowing the patient to resume spontaneous breathing.;
