Abstract
Maxillofacial surgery requires specifically tailored anesthetic care. Working in close proximity to the airway warrants continuous communication between the teams. The advent of the videolaryngoscope and many other modalities for airway management over the recent years reflects an important evolution in the field and broadens the anesthesiologist’s armament in managing difficult cases. The intraoperative management includes interventions that would optimize the surgical conditions and improve the patient’s recovery, as well as minimize the potential for complications. The emergence phase remains one of the more dangerous phases of the anesthetic management and demands heightened presence and critical decision-making on the anesthesiologist’s behalf. Naturally, managing pediatric or geriatric populations also poses challenges of their own and requires specific care and different techniques.
