Alfentanil and propofol induced anesthesia for patients with huge endotracheal tumor undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopic interventional therapy: case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a high risk of hypoxia or apnea for patients with huge tracheal tumor during general anesthesia. Here we reported two cases of extremely huge endotracheal tumors undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopic interventional therapy under general anesthesia. We hope the experience will be of reference value for formulating reasonable anesthesia scheme for such critically ill patients.

Case description

The two patients were accompanied with severe respiratory distress. And fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed that the trachea cavity was blocked nearly completely by extremely huge tracheal tumor. Tracheal tumors were scheduled to be removed with fiberoptic bronchoscopic interventional therapy. General anesthesia was inducted with alfentanil and propofol. Then a laryngeal m
