title: A technique of positive-pressure single-lung ventilation via a silicone T-Y stent.
abstract: Airway control and protection, in any operation, is the first priority. The presence of a T-Y stent in the proximal airway can complicate this fundamental principle. Here we describe an effective and safe technique for positive-pressure single-lung ventilation via a T-Y stent for a lung lobectomy.
