title: Single-lung ventilation with a cuffed endotracheal tube in a child with a left mainstem bronchus disruption.
abstract: We report a case of management of ventilation during operative repair of a traumatic left mainstem bronchial disruption in a pediatric patient. With the use of a conventional cuffed endotracheal tube, with the cuff partially in the right mainstem bronchus and partially in the trachea, we successfully managed the case with single-lung ventilation.
