Anesthetic management of acquired tracheoesophageal fistula: a brief report.
Tracheoesophageal fistula may be either a congenital lesion or an acquired condition, most often resulting from foreign body ingestion. Location of the lesion has implications for anesthetic management and single lung ventilation may be required to facilitate surgical repair. In pediatric patients, intentional mainstem intubation may be required.
