Abstract
We describe the anesthetic management of a pediatric patient who underwent thoracotomy repair of a colobronchial fistula. Single-lung ventilation confirmed the diagnosis and the position of the fistula. In addition, the intraoperative use of high frequency oscillatory ventilation in combination with conventional ventilation of the nonoperative side is described.
