The Anaesthetic Management of Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula: A Review of Five Years' Experience

A. E. JOHNSTON M.D., C.M., F.R.C.P.(C) and A. W. CONN M.D., B.SC.(MED.), F.R.C.P.(C)

The features relative to the anaesthetic management of 104 cases of tracheo-oesophageal fistula have been reviewed. The over-all survival rate in this series was 63.5 per cent. The three main preoperative factors influencing survival are: (1) associated congenital anomalies, (2) prematurity, and (3) the degree of pulmonary involvement. In the mature group without associated anomalies or a significant degree of pulmonary involvement, the survival rate is 87.5 per cent.
