The presence of kyphoscoliosis can adversely affect gas exchange because of restriction to gas flow and reduction of lung volume. The effects become more exaggerated during positive-pressure ventilation due to the uneven distribution of ventilation. The use of a double-lumen tube helps to reduce the ventilation perfusion mismatch that occurs because of positive-pressure ventilation. We report a patient with severe kyphoscoliosis who underwent repair of an atrial septal defect, in whom a double-lumen tube was used for ventilation and the conduct of general anesthesia. |
