Abstract
Large airway stenosis requires emergency treatment because of the critical condition. Usually tracheal intubation is useful for such a case. But, for carinal stenosis unilateral intubation is necessary. However, for a conscious patient unilatelar intubation with the regular intubation tube is difficult. In our department, we newly design a special tracheal cannula for such carinal stenosis cases using the regular intubation tube and the tracheal cannula. Manufacture of this special cannula is simple, economical and can be done in almost any hospital. The cannula is easy to fix and is stable for a relatively long period, for example 3 to 4 weeks for radiation treatment.
