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.
