Abstract
In this paper, we assessed the anesthesia management of a male, a 34-week gestation age newborn, weighing 1500 g, who has esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula localized just above the carina. Endotracheal intubation and intermittent positive pressure ventilation caused air leakage through the fistula into the stomach, causing abdominal distention. One-lung ventilation by left main bronchus intubation eliminated this problem.
