Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Pediatric airway malignancies are rare conditions. Tracheal resection and reconstruction (TRR) represents an effective therapeutic approach for managing tracheal tumors. This case report details an 8-year-old girl diagnosed with a malignant tumor of the left main bronchus and an associated atrial septal defect. She underwent tumor resection and tracheal reconstruction under general anesthesia, facilitated by the placement of a 5Fr bronchial blocker within a single-lumen endotracheal tube. It is imperative for anesthesiologists to anticipate potential challenges and develop comprehensive airway management strategies prior to surgery. In this case, the described anesthetic technique was implemented safely and successfully, enabling the surgery to proceed without complications.
