ABSTRACT
The authors have experienced a case of general anesthesia for a patient of congenital esophageal atresia with tracheo-esophageal fistula. Paramount importance of particular attention to the maintenance of patent airway and the removal of secretions whenever necessary for the patient's safety throughout anesthetic and postonesthetic period has been stressed. General anesthetics which irritate the respiratory tract and increase secretions must be avoided. Keeping the patient in an incubator with oxygen and humidity after anesthesia is recommended. In case of respiratory distress due to gastric dilatation, gastrostomy under local anesthesia before operation may be helpful.
