Anaesthesia for Surgical Correction of Vascular Ring

THOMAS J. McCAUGHEY M.B., B.CH., D.A.1

1 Lecturer in Anaesthesia, Department of Surgery, University of Manitoba. Chief of the Dept. of Anaesthesia, The Children's Hospital, Winnipeg, Manitoba

The literature on vascular ring anomalies is briefly reviewed. The results of some recent case's at The Children's Hospital, Winnipeg, are presented.

The anaesthetist must study the clinical and radiological findings carefully. Controlled respiration through an endotracheal tube of suitable size and length is used together with moderate hypothermia. The airway is precarious and complete co-operation between anaesthetist and surgeon \s essential. Blood loss may be sudden and severe.

In'the postoperative, period, tracheostomy is to be avoided if possible. Maximum humidity, antibiotics, and steroids are needed.

Note:

Presented at the Annual Meeting, Canadian Anaesthetists' Society, May 15–18, 1961.
