Abstract

The tracheostomy tube was removed [Figure 1] and the open stoma was secured with a sterile cuffed flexo-metallic endotracheal tube (size 5). In the face of an open airway, ventilation can be managed by manual oxygen through a small bore anode tube placed through the upper tracheal lesion combined with a distal endotracheal or bronchial tube inserted distal to the stenosis. Meticulous preoperative planning, precise airway control and perfect coordination to oxygenate the patient with each distinct surgical step were the essence of our successful management of anaesthesia during transected airway surgery.
