Title: Curious case of paediatric one lung ventilation with two endotracheal tubes: A case report

Abstract

One-lung ventilation (OLV) is essential for adequate visualization and exposure of surgical site during thoracic surgery. It is achieved with bronchial blockers, double-lumen endobronchial tube, single-lumen endotracheal tubes and Univent tube for infants and children. Fibreoptic bronchoscope is required for placing and confirming the correct position of these tubes. OLV creates a large intrapulmonary shunt as the non-ventilated lung is perfused without oxygenation. We report a perioperative management of safe conduct of one lung ventilation through C-MAC video laryngoscope guided two single lumen tubes. Both tubes were placed in parallel with one tube in right bronchus and another in trachea to achieve lung isolation for a 6-year child undergoing left lower lobe lobectomy in limited resource settings where paediatric-sized fibreoptic bronchoscope (FOB) is unavailable.
