Abstract
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in the pediatric population is a challenging task for any anesthesiologist, moreover considering the high incidence of associated congenital anomalies which are individual predictors of poor prognosis. A thorough preoperative evaluation, knowledge of the physiology of one lung ventilation - pertaining to various methods of lung isolation, individualized meticulous planning, and continuous vigilance to detect any untoward event at the earliest with good communication between the anesthesiology and surgical teams contributes to a safe and successful surgery. We present a case series of anesthetic management of congenital diaphragmatic hernia with VATS.
