Error traps in pediatric one‐lung ventilation

Abstract: With the advent of thoracoscopic surgery, the benefits of lung isolation in children have been increasingly recognized. However, because of the small airway dimensions, equipment limitations in size and maneuverability, and limited respiratory reserve, one-lung ventilation in children remains challenging. This article highlights some of the most common error traps in the management of pediatric lung isolation and focuses on practical solutions for their management. The error traps discussed are as follows: (1)… Show more

“…However, utility of these devices is limited by certain factors like nonavailability in pediatric sizes, requirement of flexible bronchoscope, and lastly the expertise of the operator. 2,3 Therefore, this index case showcases an innovative technique for lung insolation which is relatively easy and can be of great utility especially in resource limited settings.…”

“…Ultrasound is also virtually ubiquitous in pediatric ORs and can be used pre-, intra-, and post-operatively to detect atelectasis at the bedside [ 60 ]. Endobronchial blockers are available in sizes that fit a few-month-old patient, allowing safe single lung ventilation in minimally invasive thoracic surgery [ 61 ]. Continuous monitoring of neuromuscular relaxation allows surgery and successive extubation with minimal risk for postoperative pulmonary complications [ 62 ].…”

“…One lung ventilation is commonly used in thoracic procedures [ 1 ], especially in children undergoing surgeries for congenital heart diseases. Proper fluid management is crucial during OLV to avoid pulmonary edema, especially considering the narrow fluid tolerance in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD).…”
