Gas Scavenging

Failure of ventilation of an anesthetised patient due to problems in mechanical ventilator is not uncommon. The proper functioning of machine should be ensured before anesthetising a patient by the automated checking system or manually by the attending anaesthesiologist. However, sudden malfunction of some system of the machine during operation may cause the ventilator to stop risking the patient’s life. About one third of the equipment problems are due to anesthesia machine and one quarter of the problems are due to human error. We present a case of malfunction of anesthesia ventilator due to an unusual cause of blockage of anesthesia gas scavenging system.

Emergent Operation

A 10-day-old boy was transferred to our hospital due to tachypnea. Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), 4.8 mm in diameter, with small ASD was diagnosed on echocardiography. Surgical ligation of the ductus was performed after failure of three cycles of ibuprofen. However, the ductus remained open on routine postoperative echocardiography on the second postoperative day, and chest CT revealed inadvertent ligation of the left pulmonary artery (LPA) rather than the PDA. Emergent operation successfully reopened the clipped LPA and ligated the ductus on the same (second postoperative) day.<br />Mechanical ventilator support was weaned on postoperative day 21, and the baby was discharged on postoperative day 47 with a normal left lung shadow.
