Endobronchial Blocker

In order to provide one lung ventilation in an anesthetized adult horse undergoing thoracoscopy and exploratory thoracotomy, an alternative to the described techniques was developed using a homemade endobronchial blocker construction. An orifice (with a diameter of 1 cm) was made 15 cm distally to the proximal end of a standard 28 mm ID endotracheal tube (ETT) allowing the placement of a standard broncho-alveolar catheter. The adapted ETT was advanced up to the larynx in the anesthetized horse. Prior to the intubation of the trachea, the broncho-alveolar catheter was passed through the ETT and positioned into the left main bronchus under endoscopic guidance. If it would have been required, the cuff of the broncho-alveolar catheter could have been inflated, allowing OLV. However, one lung ventilation was not required during the surgical procedure.

Rare Neoplasm

We report the case of a glomus tumor originating in the left main bronchus diagnosed in a 79 year old Caucasian man. A glomus tumor is an extremely rare neoplasm in the bronchi with nonspecific clinical features. Bronchoscopy allows the diagnosis through biopsy and subsequent histopathological examination of the tissue and in selected cases may represent a valid alternative to surgery permitting a radical tumor excision.
