Anaesthesia for Surgical Repair of Oesophageal Atresia and Tracheo-oesophageal Fistula

ROLAND L. KENNEDY M.D.1 and V. K. STOELTING M.D.1

There appears to be no question about the advantages of endotracheal intubation in the administration of anaesthesia for the repair of oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula. Controlled respirations provide ideal working conditions when every advantage is needed for working in a small space. Ventilation is maintained even though there may be severe pulmonary disease. Minimal anaesthesia is required. Laryngeal oedema cannot be held as a deterrent with all the advantages to be gained. Finally, the anaesthesiologist is in a position to aid in the early diagnosis.
