Abstract
Post burn contracture neck causes difficult airway due to fixed flexion deformity and malalignment of oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal axis. It can lead to either difficult mask ventilation or difficult endotracheal intubation or both. Here we present a successful anaesthetic management of two patients with post burn contracture of neck for release of contracture band with tumescent anaesthesia along with sedoanalgesia supplemented by Inj. Ketamine I.V., O2 and sevoflurane.
