[The anesthetic management of tracheal T-tube exchange using Patil-Syracuse mask].
We exchanged the tracheal T-tube inserted to a 17-year-old female, who wanted to be able to enunciate again, with relapsing polychondritis and difficulty in enunciation which the proximal end of tracheal T-tube above the false vocal cords was causing. The procedure was performed using Patil-Syracuse mask, without tracheal intubation, under-general anesthesia. This method will ensure precise length adjustment and correct placement of the T-tube under fiberoptic bronchoscope.
