Simple deep hypothermia for repair of congenital tracheal stenosis: a case report

In the operating room, unanticipated difficult intubation can occur and anesthesiologists can experience challenging situations. Undiagnosed tracheal stenosis caused by congenital factors, trauma, tumors, or post-intubation injury, can make advancing the endotracheal tube difficult. We present an adult patient in whom we were unable to pass an endotracheal tube into the trachea. This was caused by undiagnosed congenital mid-tracheal stenosis with complete tracheal rings. When faced with an unanticipated difficult airway, the anesthesiologist needs to comprehend the results of preoperative evaluations. If an unusual situation (e.g., congenital tracheal stenosis) occurs, active cooperation with other departments should be considered.

Diagnostic Investigations

Congenital tracheal stenosis is an uncommon cause of stridor and can be associated with other anomalies. It may present anytime during childhood depending on the severity of the lesion. The anaesthetist may be involved in all stages of management of this problem; from diagnostic investigations to surgical correction. Various methods of tracheoplasty have been described, some requiring cardiopulmonary bypass support and others may be carried out with conventional ventilatory techniques.
