A Shared airway 2: the sequences

In the ENT theatre, as we have mentioned you before that we have to manage the airway with the ENT personnel they can examine the pathology while the patient is apneoa, or we can ventilate the patient either by the face mask, via the side port of the rigid bronchoscope or sometimes we can use the jet ventilation equipment for the microlaryngeal procedure.

Yesterday there was a patient presented to us for her tracehal reconstruction, we had to alternately ventilate the patient via facemask and the rigid bronchoscope before we had a definite endotracheal tube noncuff placed in the trachea which is considered quite normal for the paediatric patients not the adult size patient.
