“…Selective ventilation of one-lung ventilation has been accomplished by several methods [1,2]. Tracheal intubation of patients with restricted mouth opening may be difficult and challenging because the maximum mouth opening cannot be increased, even by administering neuromuscular blocking drugs [3].…”

Functional separation of the lungs may be accomplished by several methods. Patient with restricted mouth opening has limited options for one-lung ventilation. We report the use of wire-guided endobronchial blockade, a new tool for achieving one-lung ventilation in a patient with restricted mouth opening requiring nasotracheal, fiberoptic intubation for esophagectomy and reconstruction with gastric tube substitution.

“…Mcgillvary et al 8 has noted that the tip of the blocker is quite rigid and that excoriation of the tracheal mucosa after attempts at blind introduction has been observed. However in the present case, we used a bronchoscope from the beginning to place the blocker in the upper part of the left main bronchus.…”

Contralateral Tension Pneumothorax during One Lung Ventilation by a Univent® Tube

Tension pneumothorax during one-lung ventilation (OLV) is a rare but life-threatening complication. A 79-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with lung cancer underwent Univent ® Tube (Fuji Systems Corporation, Tokyo)intubation for left upper lobectomy. Two hours after the initiation of OLV, the patient could not tolerate it. Thus, oneand two-lung ventilation were alternatively applied to continue the operation. After the operation, an emergent chest radiograph was taken, and pneumothorax was found at the right (dependent) lung field.

“…1992) indicated that placement of a customised ‘tube‐in‐tube BB’ tube was the most feasible option for OLV in this horse. Conceptually, this tube follows the design of a Univent tube (MacGillivray 1988). In our case, the 10 mm ID tube served as the BB isolating the right lung from the upper airway while the horse's left lung was ventilated through the 26 mm ID tube.…”

“…While customised DLTs have been successfully used in ponies experimentally (McDonell 1974;Elliott et al 1991), both the bronchial tree anatomy in the equine and experimental experience with a tracheal 'tube-in-tube technique' for separate lung ventilation in adult horses (Moens et al 1992) indicated that placement of a customised 'tube-in-tube BB' tube was the most feasible option for OLV in this horse. Conceptually, this tube follows the design of a Univent tube (MacGillivray 1988). In our case, the 10 mm ID tube served as the BB isolating the right lung from the upper airway while the horse's left lung was ventilated through the 26 mm ID tube.…”

Summary A 7‐year‐old, 430 kg Standardbred gelding was presented to the hospital with severe bilateral purulent pleuropneumonia requiring partial pulmonectomy. Prior to surgery the trachea was intubated through a tracheotomy site using a customised tube (10 mm internal diameter)‐in‐tube (26 mm internal diameter) endotracheal tube, similar to a bronchial blocker tube in design. The left lung was selectively mechanically ventilated. Thoracotomy was performed and a major lung abscess and surrounding lung tissue were resected. Arterial PO2 and PCO2 remained 79–305 and 43–72 mmHg, respectively, and haemodynamic variables within a range acceptable for general anaesthesia in the horse. A 5 month follow‐up revealed complete resolution of the pleuropneumonia without signs of recurrence.
