Abstract:
Tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica is a rare benign disease, with difficult airway for intubation because the trachea and bronchia are narrow and transformed. We experienced one lung ventilation for a patient with the lung cancer associated with the tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica. The Coopdech bronchial blocker is a device for one lung ventilation. We could actually manipulate the blocker balloon very easily and maintain complete one lung ventilation maintaining SpO2 well. Coopdech bronchial blocker is useful for one lung ventilation in a patient with difficult airway such as tracheobronchopathia osteochondroplastica.

Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...

Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening (stoma) in the anterior part of the trachea. It is used to establish a patient airway, bypass an upper airway obstruction, simplify the removal of secretions, permit long-term...
