    Abstract:
    Tracheal bronchus is a rare congenital tracheal abnormality that generally refers to the right upper lobe bronchus of the lung that originates from the trachea. Tracheal bronchus is usually asymptomatic and is often accidentally detected by fiberoptic bronchoscopy or computed tomography for other conditions. Depending on the location of the tracheal bronchial opening and possible anatomical variations, the management of 1-lung ventilation in patients with tracheal bronchus is a significant challenge for anesthesiologists. To provide a reference for anesthesiologists to better manage anesthesia in such patients, we review the pathophysiology, definition, and Conacher classification of tracheal bronchus and then discuss the diagnosis of tracheal bronchus and management of 1-lung ventilation during anesthesia according to the Conacher classification.
