Since the double lumen tube (DLT) for pediatric use is not commercially available, we have developed the method of differential lung ventilation using the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and the cuffed-bronchial tube (BT) made with two conventional cuffed-tracheal tubes (Intermediate, Mallinckrodt). ⋯ Our method using the BT' (ID 3 mm, length 29 cm) with LMA size 2 could be applied to the patient aged less than 2 yr, weighing over 10 kg, and the non-cuffed BT (ID 2.5 mm, length 27.5 mm) through LMA size 1.5 could be used to those weighing over 5 kg.

In August 1950, Japanese-American Joint Conference of Medical Educators was held in Tokyo and Dr Meyer Saklad of Rhode Island Hospital delivered his lectures on anesthesia. Prof. Shimizu of the Tokyo University who had just come back from the United States was asked to translate Dr Saklad's lectures. ⋯ To solve this problem, an independent society for anesthesiology was established in May 1st, 1954. Prof. Shimizu played a dominant role in the foundation of Japan Society of Anesthesiology.
