Abstract

Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) represents a significant anesthesia challenge due to the predisposition to airway obstruction. Staphylectomy, often associated with rhinoplasty, is the main corrective surgery, but airway management is crucial to reducing complications. Strategies such as multimodal analgesia, infraorbital nerve block, intraoperative use of hydrocortisone and adrenaline nebulization prior to extubating increase anesthesia safety and improve recovery.
