Abstract:
The case of a 9-month old infant with congenital tracheal stenosis due to complete tracheal rings, associated with an aberrant left pulmonary artery is reported. Surgery was carried out under extracorporeal circulation to ensure adequate oxygen supply. Extubation, thus made possible, enabled the lesion to located accurately by bronchoscopy. Tracheoplasty by means of an autologus pericardial patch was performed. The quality of the repair was checked by a second bronchoscopy. The long-term result is satisfactory.

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
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,...
