RESUMO
A 34-year-old woman suffering from post-spinal tinnitus for 8 years was scheduled for a cesarean section under epidural anesthesia selected to prevent a deterioration of this condition due to a possible decrease in the cerebrospinal fluid level. Unexpectedly, the tinnitus disappeared completely after the epidural injection of 2% lidocaine 27 ml and following continuous epidural infusion. It is conceivable that moderate quantities of local anesthetics into the epidural space might have acted as an effective method similar to that of epidural physiologic saline injection in order to improve the cerebrospinal pressure.

We were using an L type connector with single side port with a Fogarty catheter in pediatric one-lung anesthesia. This method was not as good as roported, because modification of catheter position was rather too difficult during operation. We have made a new device with two side ports to improve weak points of the old device. We used this device for pediatric one-lung anesthesia, and obtained good results.
