Anesthesia With Conscious Sedation for Balloon Dilatation in the Setting of Severe Subglottic Tracheal Stenosis: A Case Report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Severe subglottic tracheal stenosis represents a significant clinical challenge due to its impact on respiratory function and the inherent complexity of airway management. In procedures such as tracheal balloon dilatation, the anesthetic approach plays a crucial role in ensuring patient safety and comfort while minimizing perioperative risks. This case describes the anesthetic management of a conscious patient undergoing this procedure, highlighting the strategies employed and the advantages of this technique in difficult airway situations.
