Accidental bronchial intubation

Selective bronchial intubation for pulmonary emphysema.

Two neonates with respiratory distress syndrome developed unilateral pulmonary interstitial emphysema causing mediastinal shift and compressive atelectasis. Treatment with contralateral bronchial intubation for five days proved to be life saving.

Use of the Rapiscope vs chest auscultation for detection of accidental bronchial intubation in non-obese patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

STUDY OBJECTIVE Main stem bronchial intubation is not always detected by routine means and may occur more frequently during laparoscopic procedures. Tracheal tube positional changes in non-obese patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were detected by either the Rapiscope (Cook Critical Care, Bloomington, Ind) or chest auscultation. DESIGN Prospective, double-blind, crossover study. ...

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 ...
