Abstract
Resuscitation in a position other then supine is necessary in certain situations. It has been reported that it can be successfully carried out in the prone position but not in the lateral position. The technical limitations and ventilation-perfusion mismatch in the lateral position make the resuscitation difficult. We present a case of successful resuscitation in the lateral position of an infant with a huge anterior mediastinal mass.
