title: TIVA-A Promising Approach to Anaesthetic Management of Montgomery T-tube Insertion.
abstract: One of the treatment modalities for tracheal stenosis is tracheal dilatation and stenting using silicone Montgomery T-tube. Various techniques have been reported for this procedure. For safe anaesthetic management, anaesthesiologist must be aware of the surgical procedure, limitations of T-tube, likelihood of compromised airway besides the inherent problems of sharing the airway with surgeons. Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) is a technique which has become very popular and possible now a days for various surgical procedures owing to its advantages. The anaesthetic technique should be based on the provider's experience and severity of tracheal stenosis. We present here the anaesthetic management using TIVA technique with propofol and atracurium for the insertion of Montgomery T-tube in a case of post intubation tracheal stenosis.
