RESUMEN
JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O manejo da via aérea difícil em cirurgia torácica é um assunto peculiar, devido às exigências da ventilação monopulmonar com o uso de tubos de duplo-lúmen. O auxílio da broncoscopia flexível é de enorme importância, porém nem sempre está disponível. O objetivo deste relato é descrever um caso de intubação orotraqueal seletiva retrógrada na ausência de equipamento de endoscopia específico para o procedimento. RELATO DO CASO: Paciente com história prévia de retossigmoidectomia internou-se para abordagem cirúrgica de lesão pulmonar por toracotomia direita. Avaliação anestésica pré-operatória não revelava particularidades nem na história clínica nem no exame físico. Após indução anestésica e ventilação com máscara facial, à laringoscopia direta duas tentativas de intubação orotraqueal mostraram-se inefetivas devido à difícil visualização das pregas vocais (Cormack-Lehane grau III). Em função da indisponibilidade de material específico para intubação seletiva endoscópica optou-se pela técnica retrógrada utilizando tubo de duplo-lúmen. O paciente foi extubado na sala cirúrgica logo após o término da cirurgia e não apresentou complicações decorrentes da técnica alternativa. CONCLUSÕES: A intubação orotraqueal seletiva retrógrada mostrou-se uma técnica alternativa minimamente invasiva, de baixo custo, segura e, ainda, extremamente útil quando não se conta com o auxílio da broncoscopia flexível.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Difficult airway management in thoracic surgeries is a peculiar subject due to the demands of monopulmonary ventilation with double-lumen tubes. Flexible bronchoscopy guidance is extremely important, but it is not always available. The objective of this report was to describe a case of retrograde selective orotracheal intubation in the absence of specific endoscopy equipment for the procedure. CASE REPORT: This is a patient with a history of retosigmoidectomy, admitted for a right thoracotomy for a lung lesion. Preoperative anesthetic evaluation did not reveal any clinical and physical exam particularities. After anesthetic induction and ventilation with face mask, two attempts of orotracheal intubation under direct laryngoscopy were ineffective due to difficult visualization of the vocal folds (Cormack-Lehane grade III). Due to the unavailability of specific material for selective endoscopic intubation it was decided to use the retrograde technique using the double-lumen tube. The patient was extubated in the operating room shortly after the end of the surgery without complications secondary to the alternative technique. CONCLUSIONS: Retrograde selective orotracheal intubation is a minimally invasive technique, low cost, safe, and extremely useful whenever flexible bronchoscopy is not available.

Después de la inducción anestésica y ventilación con máscara facial, en la laringoscopia derecha dos intentos de intubación orotraqueal no tuvieron el efecto esperado debido a una difícil visualización de las cuerdas vocales (Cormack-Lehane grado III). En función de la indisponibilidad de un material específico para la intubación selectiva endoscópica, se optó por la técnica retrógrada utilizando un tubo de doble lumen. El paciente fue desentubado en quirófano enseguida que terminó la operación y no presentó complicaciones provenientes de la técnica alternativa. CONCLUSIONES: La intubación orotraqueal selectiva retrógrada fue una técnica alternativa mínimamente invasiva de bajo coste, segura e incluso extremadamente útil cuando no se cuenta con la ayuda de la broncoscopia flexible.

OBJETIVO: Comparar os estadiamentos clínico e patológico em pacientes com câncer de pulmão não-pequenas células submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico e identificar as causas das discordâncias. MÉTODOS: Foram analisados, de forma retrospectiva, os dados de pacientes tratados no Serviço de Cirurgia Torácica do Hospital São Lucas da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul, e foram calculados a sensibilidade, especificidade, valor preditivo positivo, valor preditivo negativo e acurácia para os estádios clínicos IA, IB e IIB. O índice kappa foi utilizado para determinar a concordância entre os estadiamentos clínico e patológico. RESULTADOS: Dentre os 92 pacientes estudados, 33,7 por cento foram classificados como estádio clínico IA, 50 por cento como IB e 16,3 por cento como IIB. A concordância entre os estadiamentos clínico e patológico foi de 67,5 por cento para IA, 54,3 por cento para IB e 66,6 por cento para IIB. O estadiamento clínico teve maior acurácia no estádio IA, e um kappa de 0,74 neste caso confirma uma substancial associação com o estadiamento patológico. A dificuldade em avaliar doença metastática linfonodal é responsável pela baixa concordância em pacientes com estádio clínico IB. CONCLUSÕES: A concordância entre os estadiamentos clínico e patológico é baixa, e, freqüentemente, os pacientes são subestadiados (no presente estudo, somente um caso foi superestadiado). São necessárias estratégias para melhorar o estadiamento clínico e, conseqüentemente, o tratamento e o prognóstico dos pacientes com câncer de pulmão não-pequenas células.
OBJECTIVE: To compare clinical and pathological staging in patients with non-small cell lung cancer submitted to surgical treatment, as well as to identify the causes of discordance. METHODS: Data related to patients treated at the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul São Lucas Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy were calculated for clinical stages IA, IB, and IIB. The kappa index was used to determine the concordance between clinical and pathological staging. RESULTS: Of the 92 patients studied, 33.7 percent were classified as clinical stage IA, 50 percent as IB, and 16.3 percent as IIB. The concordance between clinical and pathological staging was 67.5 percent for stage IA, 54.3 percent for IB, and 66.6 percent for IIB. The accuracy of the clinical staging was greater for stage IA, and a kappa of 0.74, in this case, confirmed a substantial association with pathological staging. The difficulty in evaluating nodal metastatic disease is responsible for the low concordance in patients with clinical stage IB. CONCLUSIONS: The concordance between clinical and pathological staging is low, and patients are frequently understaged (in the present study, only one case was overstaged). Strategies are necessary to improve clinical staging and, consequently, the treatment and prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
