New technique for one-lung anesthesia using an endobronchial blocker

R J Ginsberg

    The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
    |October 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    A novel one-lung anesthesia technique utilizes a Fogarty catheter for endobronchial blockade, offering a quick, reliable alternative to standard methods. This approach simplifies procedures and minimizes complications in thoracic surgeries.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Standard one-lung anesthesia often involves complications associated with double-lumen endotracheal tubes.
    • A need exists for simpler, more reliable methods for achieving endobronchial blockade.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a new method for one-lung anesthesia using a Fogarty occlusion catheter.
    • To demonstrate the technique's efficacy and safety in thoracic surgical procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • A Fogarty occlusion catheter (8-14 French) was employed to create an endobronchial blockade.
    • The technique was applied in over 200 thoracotomies, as well as for pleuroscopy and anterior mediastinotomy.

    Main Results:

    • The Fogarty catheter method proved to be quick, simple, and reliable for endobronchial blockade.
    • This technique effectively eliminated most problems encountered with the standard double-lumen endotracheal tube method.
    • No significant complications were reported in over 200 surgical cases.

    Conclusions:

    • The Fogarty catheter occlusion technique provides a safe and effective alternative for one-lung anesthesia.
    • Its simplicity and reliability make it suitable for various thoracic procedures, including thoracotomies, pleuroscopy, and mediastinotomies.
