Anesthetic management for patients with a giant emphysematous bulla (GEB) is challenging. This case report describes a patient who developed 95% pulmonary compression by a GEB. A 14-Ga indwelling catheter was placed in the GEB before surgery to allow for slow re-expansion of the collapsed lung tissue. This prevented rupture of the GEB during anesthesia. Additionally, positive-pressure ventilation was performed to reduce the risk of re-expansion pulmonary edema. This respiratory management strategy may be beneficial for patients with a GEB who develop pulmonary dysfunction during thoracic surgery.
巨大气肿性肺大疱(GEB)患者的麻醉管理具有挑战性。本病例报告描述了一名患者,其肺部被GEB压迫了95%。术前在GEB中放置了一根14G的留置导管,以使塌陷的肺组织缓慢复张。这防止了麻醉期间GEB破裂。此外,进行了正压通气以降低复张性肺水肿的风险。这种呼吸管理策略可能对在胸外科手术期间出现肺功能障碍的GEB患者有益。
