We describe the management of a case of near total airway obstruction in a 79-year-old man who presented with a 2-week history of increasing shortness of breath and stridor. Computed tomography imaging revealed a mid-tracheal mass of unknown aetiology with critical airway obstruction. We secured the patient's airway using a TriTube (Ventinova, Eindhoven, the Netherlands). While this facilitated a secure airway past the lesion, various issues were encountered which complicated the safe conduct of anaesthesia. We conclude that while the TriTube and Evone flow-controlled ventilation (Ventinova) are useful for critical airway obstruction, they can be problematic and thorough planning is essential.
我们描述了一名79岁男性近乎完全气道梗阻病例的处理情况,该患者有2周逐渐加重的气短和喘鸣病史。计算机断层扫描成像显示气管中段有一病因不明的肿物,伴有严重气道梗阻。我们使用TriTube(荷兰埃因霍温的Ventinova公司生产)确保了患者气道安全。虽然这有助于建立越过病变部位的安全气道,但仍遇到了各种问题,使麻醉的安全实施变得复杂。我们得出结论,虽然TriTube和Evone流量控制通气(Ventinova)对严重气道梗阻有用,但它们可能存在问题,全面规划至关重要。
