Endobronchial anaesthesia in young children
Summary: Selective intubation of a main bronchus during thoracotomy in three young children is described. Modified endotracheal tubes were used to intubate the left main bronchus in an infant with a right bronchopleural fistula and the right main bronchus in two children aged 3 years, one of whom had a foreign body in the left main bronchus, and the other a left empyema thoracis. In these cases the technique was simple and satisfactory. © 1966 John Sherratt and Son Ltd.
