Implications of a tracheal bronchus for adult anaesthetic practice

I. D. Conacher

Department of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesia, Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne NE7 7DN, UK

The problems posed by tracheal intubation in the presence of a tracheal bronchus in adults are exemplified with three case histories. The anomaly has been categorized into three types on the basis of its potential to cause problems when attempting intubation. Suggestions are given for ways of securing the airway that are safe and less likely to result in obstruction and hypoxia.
