Abstract
Anaesthetic management in carcinoma oesophagus is particularly challenging due to the need for maintaining adequate oxygenation and ventilation during OLV, managing hemodynamic fluctuations, and addressing perioperative risks such as hypoxemia, postoperative pulmonary complications, and pain control. Our patient was a 45 year old female with carcinoma oesophagus , mild pneumonitis; other investigations were within normal limits. She was premedicated, induced and intubated with a double lumen tube; she did not tolerate one lung ventilation and changed to regular single lumen tube and low tidal volumes were tried; developed acidosis and treated and extubated uneventfully. Low tidal volumes can be used in patients with bad lung for facilitating the surgery.
