LF-P [Tokyo, Japan] with an external diameter of 1.8 mm), thus making it suitable for fibrescopic bronchoscopy through the lumen of endotracheal tubes for infants. After bronchoscopy is finished and the fibrescope is withdrawn, the swivel or Arndt port is capped with the original attached top. DISCUSSIONWhether it is for diagnostic flexible bronchoscopy or for bronchial blocker placement, uninterrupted ventilation is a big advantage without which the duration of bronchoscopy is limited by the need to ventilate intermittently. We have used this adaptation in four small children and have found that leak-free ventilation was possible despite high airway pressure.
