“…Second, lung-protective ventilation strategies were used to prevent further lung injury. 9 Third, a seasoned surgeon was leading the surgery to reduce operation time and minimise complications. Undoubtedly, these steps had helped us to ensure a successful surgery in a safe environment.…”

Placement of a double-lumen tube to achieve one lung ventilation is an aerosol-generating procedure. Performing it on a patient with COVID-19 will put healthcare workers at high risk of contracting the disease. We herein report a case of its use in a patient with traumatic diaphragmatic rupture, who was also suspected to have COVID-19. This article aims to highlight the issues, it presented and ways to address them as well as the perioperative impact of personal protective equipment.

“…Non-intubated anesthesia is well-described for thoracic procedures, including lung biopsies, lung volume reduction surgeries, anatomic lung resections, and even tracheal resections and tracheoplasty, as well as sleeve resections. Prior study has indicated, on the pathophysiological aspect, that it is likely to maintain not only a reduction in inflammatory markers, including lower white blood cell counts, interleukin-6 and interleukin-8, and higher lymphocyte and natural killer cells, but a lower level of biomarkers of adrenal stress like fibrinogen and cortisol ( 2 ). Our team have previously reported the efficacy of non-intubated VATS and RATS ( 3 , 4 ), which simplified procedures without the interference of endotracheal tubing, reduced the unstable SpO 2 during the operations, allowed for better surgical fields for airway/vascular anastomosis, and reduced perioperative complications and shortened hospital stay.…”
