Abstract

Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is an anomalous connection between the trachea and esophagus with an incidence of 1 in every 2500 live births making it one of the most common congenital anomalies seen in major neonatal surgical centers. If left undiagnosed and untreated, it may lead to neonatal morbidity and early mortality. This case report focuses on the challenges faced in the anesthetic management of neonates with TEF, their airway management, and ventilation strategies in a health center with low neonatal surgical load.
