Abstract
- Tracheoesophageal fistula with esophageal stenosis were described by Gibson in 1697, and successful primary surgical repair was accompished in 1941 by Haight, but this anomaly had a very grave prognosia, due to prematurity, combined other congenital anomaly, and [ostoperative pulmonary complication. Recently, early diagnosis, better preoperative and postoperative care, and proper anesthetic management have helped lower the mortality rate. Eighteen infants with esophageal atresia with T.E fistula were admitted to Severance Hospital, and 9 infants among these infants were surgically corrected under general anesthesia from Feb. 1970 to Feb. 1981 at Severance Hospital. This report described the results of anesthetic experience in the management of tracheoesophageal fistula, and the problems of anesthetic management of patients with trachoesophageal fistula were reviewed and discussed.
