Abstract
The ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) is a rare surgical procedure performed in cases of expected postpartum fetal airway obstruction. This procedure technique lies in a safe establishment of a patent airway during labor in anticipation of a critical respiratory event, without the interruption of maternal-fetal circulation. Anesthetic management in the EXIT procedure is substantially different from that of the standard cesarean delivery and its main goals include uterine relaxation, fetal anesthesia, and placental blood flow preservation. We report the first case of an EXIT procedure performed on a fetus with a prenatal diagnosis of multiple oral masses at King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
