Postoperative Controlled Ventilation in a Patient With Montgomery’s T-Tube In Situ After Laryngotracheal Reconstruction: A Case Report
Gautham Ganesan, Meenatchi Rajasekaran, Nanda Kishore SenathiPositive pressure ventilation through a Montgomery T-tube remains a clinical challenge. This report highlights a successful case of positive pressure ventilation through a Montgomery tube with the aid of a cuffless endotracheal tube inserted into the proximal end of the T-tube. In cases where removal of the T-tube is not possible due to surgical indications, this technique can be used to maintain effective ventilation.
