ABSTRACT
Tension pneumothorax (PTx) was diagnosed in a preterm baby during surgery for tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). The PTx occurred around 90 minutes after skin incision, while the baby was breathing spontaneously with intermittent positive pressure ventilation (PPV) at low pressure. A sudden decrease in oxygen saturation (SpO2), hemodynamic compromise, and decreased breath sounds on the right side suggested a right-sided tension PTx. After prompt radiological confirmation, needle aspiration of air through the surgical site restored the patient's condition immediately. Although the sudden unexpected hypoxemia and circulatory problems may confuse anesthesiologists, prompt diagnosis and proper treatment are required for successful clinical outcomes in tension PTx.
