AB  - Bronchopleural  fistula  is  a  direct  communication  between  the  bronchial  tree  and  the  pleural  cavity  causing  an  air  leak  from  the  lung.  In  pneumothorax,  the  communication  is  peripheral,  between  a  ruptured  bleb  or  alveolar  duct  and  the  pleural  cavity.Anesthesia  for  patients  with  a  BPF  is  based  on  two  important  techniques  central  to  thoracic  anesthesia:  effective  lung  isolation  and  ventilation  of  an  open  airway.Prompt  lung  isolation  is  essential  during  anesthetic  management  in  order  to  minimize  the  risk  of  ventilating  the  pleural  cavity  and  soiling  the  contralateral  lung.
