Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Traumatic pulmonary herniation involves the protrusion of lung parenchyma beyond the normal borders of the thoracic cage through a defect in the musculoskeletal wall. Anesthetic management involves airway protection, lung isolation, and avoidance of distension of the herniated segment. We report the successful anesthetic management during surgical management of pulmonary herniation.
