Abstract
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has advantages compared with open thoracotomy. One lung ventilation, is indispensible to VATS, commonly is accomplished with a double-lumen endotracheal tube. For infants and small children, there is no double-lumen endotracheal tube suitable, various modified techniques are used to achieve one lung ventilation. Recently introduced a small sized wire-guided endobronchial blocker gives us another choice of one lung ventilation for VATS in small children. Using a wire-guided endobronchial blocker and multiport adapter for young children under flexible bronchoscope, we provided one lung ventilation (OLV) during VATS successfully without complications.
Key Words: children; one lung ventilation; wire-guided endobronchial blocker
