متن کاملLeft mainstem bronchus rupture due to a left-sided double lumen tube.
Double lumen tubes (DLT) are a cornerstone in thoracic anaesthesia to achieve onelung ventilation. Due to the shape and size of these devices, airway injuries might occur. The reported incidence of tracheobronchial ruptures caused by a DLT is very low (0.005% for single-lumen tubes and 0.05% for double-lumen intubations), but the outcome can be life-threatening (1, 2). In the past, treatment of...

متن کاملMisplacement of left-sided double-lumen tubes into the right mainstem bronchus: incidence, risk factors and blind repositioning techniques
BACKGROUND Double-lumen endobronchial tubes (DLTs) are commonly advanced into the mainstem bronchus either blindly or by fiberoptic bronchoscopic guidance. However, blind advancement may result in misplacement of left-sided DLTs into the right bronchus. Therefore, incidence, risk factors, and blind repositioning techniques for right bronchial misplacement of left-sided DLTs were investigated. ...
متن کاملPulmonary mucormycosis presenting as an endobronchial lesion.
A 56-year-old diabetic man presented with left upper lobe collapse and postobstructive pneumonitis. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed an endobronchial mass obstructing the left mainstem bronchus. The lesion resembled a bronchial adenoma; however, cytologic and histologic examination revealed invasive mucormycosis. The patient was treated with intravenous amphotericin B followed by endoscopic las...
