Anaesthesia for Surgical Removal of Pulmonary Cysts in Children

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

1 Anaesthetist-in-Chief, The Children's Hospital, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Lecturer, Department of Surgery, University of Manitoba

The literature on anaesthetic considerations in the removal of lung cysts in infants and children is scarce. A simple classification of these cysts on the basis of the anatomic mechanism involved is desirable. The history and a study of the chest roentgenograms will help the anaesthetist to understand this mechanism in each case. Spontaneous respiration may seem more desirable with expanding cysts, but there is a good argument for using controlled respiration under general anaesthesia in all cases. The cases of eight patients with different types of lung cysts are presented.

Note:

Presented at Western Division Meeting, Canadian Anaesthetists' Society, held in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in March, 1961.
