ANAESTHETIC MANAGEMENT OF BRONCHOGENIC CYST IN AN INFANT:- A CHALLENGE- A CASE REPORT

Dr. Garima Anant, Dr. Aman Kaur Saini

Abstract :

A double-lumen tube is an endotracheal tube designed to isolate the lungs anatomically and physiologically. Double-lumen tubes are the most commonly used tubes to provide independent ventilation for each lung. One-lung ventilation or lung isolation is the mechanical and functional separation of the 2 lungs to allow selective ventilation of only one lung. The other lung that is not being ventilated passively deflates or is displaced by the surgeon to facilitate surgical exposure for non-cardiac operations in the chest such as thoracic, esophageal, aortic and spine procedures. But due to the larger size and more complex design than the single lumen tube (SLT), intubation with a DLT can be a challenge, especially in paediatric patients. We present a case of 2.5 month female child, weighing 3 kgs , diagnosed antenatally by ultrasound with onchogenic cyst .Left thoracotomy with excision of cyst was the planned surgery for the patient
