  • Single-Lumen Endotracheal Tube and Bronchial Blocker for Airway Management During Tracheobronchoplasty for Tracheobronchomalacia: A Case Report. A&A practice Lui, N. S., Guo, H. H., Sung, A. W., Peterson, A., Kulkarni, V. N. 2019

    Abstract

    We present a case of a 69-year-old man who underwent tracheobronchoplasty for tracheobronchomalacia using a single-lumen endotracheal tube and a Y-shaped bronchial blocker for airway management. Tracheobronchoplasty is performed by sewing mesh to plicate the posterior, membranous wall of the distal trachea and main bronchi through a right posterolateral thoracotomy. The goals of airway management include continuous left-lung ventilation and lung protection from aspiration. Ideally, only conventional airway management tools are used. This case demonstrates that a single-lumen endotracheal tube with a bronchial blocker can be a straightforward strategy for airway management during tracheobronchoplasty.

  • Intraoperative Kirschner Wire Migration during Robotic Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery. Case reports in anesthesiology Peterson, A. n., Ngai, L. K., Burbridge, M. A. 2019; 2019: 9581285

    Abstract

    We present the case of a 58-year-old woman who underwent a minimally invasive robotic-assisted L4-S1 instrumentation and fusion which was complicated by a Kirschner wire (K-wire) fracture and migration into the abdominal cavity necessitating emergent exploratory laparotomy. Retrieval of the K-wire proceeded without incident, and the patient had an otherwise uneventful surgery and recovery. This is the first such case description reported in the literature. As minimally invasive robotic-assisted spine procedures become more common, it is essential for the anesthesiologist to be familiar with potential complications to manage such patients in the perioperative period optimally.
