Background: For most thoracic surgeries (lung resection, esophagectomy) the main purpose of inserting a double lumen tube for lung isolation is providing space for dissection and preventing lung motion by not ventilating (collapsing) the lung undergoing surgery. Objective: In addition, during pleurectomy/ decortication surgeries, the anaesthetist can indirectly perform the dissection of pleura from the lung without scrubbing, gloving or holding the scalpel. Conclusion: This is accomplished by ventilating the lung undergoing surgery, with large tidal volumes while the surgeon provides static traction to the visceral pleura. These phases alternate with one lung ventilation. A detailed account of anaesthesia for pleurectomy/ decortication follows.

Management of an uncorrected broncho-oesophageal fistula in the perioperative period is a challenge for the anaesthesiologist. Positive pressure ventilation which is inevitable during surgery will lead to gastric insufflation and there is a high risk of aspiration of gastric contents. In this case report, we discuss how we used a double lumen tube to occlude a pericarinal broncho-oesophageal fistula. This method was quite effective as it obviated the need for isolating the lung as well as ensured smooth delivery of positive pressure ventilation during the surgery.
