A patient with a retropharyngeal carcinoma was anaesthetized for laryngoscopy, oesophagoscopy and biopsy. Suggestive symptoms of a tracheo-oesophageal fistula were absent and a barium swallow did not demonstrate its presence. Sign of an abnormal communication appeared for the first time after the patient had been intubated and positive airway pressure applied. Measures which might be taken to overcome this problem are suggested.
The commonly encountered cardiovascular effects of intravenous indigo carmine administration is transient alpha-receptor stimulation, namely increased total peripheral resistance, diastolic and systolic blood pressure, and central venous pressure with decreased cardiac output, stroke volume and heart rate. These usually cause no problems and frequently go undetected unless the patient is monitored closely during that brief interval. However, significant problems occur occasionally and its use is not totally without risks.
