Peroral endoscopy and laryngeal surgery . dvantageous angle possible, asshown by the dotted lines, the mechanical difficulty is still great as compared tothe slanted-end bronchoscope as shown by the dotted lines (/). gently down on the table, without letting go tlie left arm of the child,carrying the childs arm witli her hand. Children are particularly sub-ject to subglottic edema, especially if too large a tube be used, or the be-fore-mentioned precautions to avoid the fulcral pressure on the larynxare neglected. In addition, of course, all of the niceties of bronchoscopymust be practiced in the bronchoscopy of children, because of the delicacyof the tissues.
