UNLABELLED: The increasing frequency of video-assisted thoracoscopic interventions as well as open thoracic surgical procedures in children demands appropriate anesthetic techniques to provide single-lung ventilation. A fiberoptically directed, wire-guided 5F endobronchial blocker for use in small infants has recently been devised. We report on the very special aspects of airway management in a newborn 3000-g infant who presented a major anesthetic and surgical challenge because of congenital emphysema of the left upper pulmonary lobe. IMPLICATIONS: The special aspects of single-lung ventilation in a newborn 3000-g infant who presented a major anesthetic and surgical challenge because of congenital emphysema of the left upper pulmonary lobe are reported.
