1/2. Paediatric one lung anaesthesia by selective bronchial intubation.One lung anaesthesia in paediatric patients may not always be achievable by bronchial blockade or double lumen tube intubation due to inadequate experiences or facilities. We attempted to isolate right lung by selectively intubating the left bronchus with single lumen tube on a 10 kg child. Optimal surgical condition and satisfactory oxygenation achieved but complicated with severe respiratory acidosis. The possible causes for hypercapnea in this child were discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/2. Malformations of the lungs.The postoperative fatal cases following lung resections and those following drainage of pleuropulmonary suppuration have been evaluated. It has been shown that prognosis is significantly better when resections of the lung are carried out than when septic processes in the pleural cavity occur, although the operative interferences in cases of resection are much more extensive than the insertion of a suction catheter for empyema. It was found that with today's methods of anaesthesia and resuscitation even extensive operations on the lung are less risky than bacterial infections.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
