A simple and practical intraoperative ventilation technique for uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic tracheal reconstruction: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cross-field endotracheal intubation is typically performed during tracheal anastomosis to maintain single-lung ventilation. To minimize obstruction of the surgical field by the cross-field tube, special equipment such as high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or advanced techniques such as non-intubated ventilation have been proposed. Here, we describe a simple and practical airway management strategy that requires only conventional ventilators and techniques. Our operation is completed under uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).

Case description

We report a case of tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) presenting with cough with bloody sputum in a 53-year-old man. Computed tomography (CT) and flexib
