Abstract:
The Montgomery T-tube is a device that supports the trachea and facilitates ventilation after laryngotracheal surgery. Because its use is sporadic, many anesthesiologists may not be familiar with this device, and its anesthetic management requires careful planning and discussion with surgeons. We describe the techniques of anesthetic management of exchanging endotracheal tube to Montgomery T-tube in case where upper tracheal stenosis exists.
