clamshell surgical incision was performed which provided a good access for both surgery and for arterial and venous cannulation should emergency cardiac bypass be necessary. This type of incision also allows bilateral simultaneous lung decompression. CLE emphysema may produce an acute shift of the mediastinum with loss of cardiac output and subsequent death. There have been several descriptions of the anesthetic management of patients with unilateral congenital emphysema (4,5), to our knowledge, this is the first description of the anesthetic management of a child undergoing surgery for bilateral CLE. Our concerns in anesthetising this patient were that initiation of positive pressure ventilation would cause hyperinflation of the emphysematous lobes and compromise oxygenation, venous return and cardiac output. We therefore used an inhalational induction and maintained spontaneous ventilation with sevoflurane in 100% oxygen and only instituted positive pressure ventilation after femoral and arterial line access was obtained. This allowed us to minimize the duration of positive pressure ventilation prior to surgical incision and reduce the potential for hyperinflation of the emphysematous lobes. We feel our method facilitated safe induction of anesthesia and establishment of invasive monitoring, avoided the potential for cardio respiratory compromise and allowed the surgery for a single stage excision of bilateral CLE via a clamshell incision to proceed without complications.
