Sumario:One Lung Ventilation (OLV) is the preferred method of anesthesia in the vast majority of thoracic operations, especially thoracoscopic procedures. Although double lumen endotracheal tubes are usually used to conduct OLV during thoracic operations, in patients with permanent tracheostomy, because of short trachea, keeping these tubes safe in place is usually difficult. Thus, OLV in patients with permanent tracheostomy may be challenging or even impossible. Herein, we report a patient with permanent tracheostomy who underwent successful OLV and thoracoscopic lobectomy.
