Herlitz epidermolysis bullosa in the paediatric patient: Anaesthetic implications

We report the case of a newborn diagnosed with Herlitz epidermolysis bullosa, taken to nasojejunal transanastomotic tube placement due to congenital intestinal obstruction. We focused on the main features in the anaesthetic management of these patients considering the preparation of the monitoring and surgical equipment to prevent skin damage by friction and the difficulties establishing venous accesses and airway management.
