Nasopharyngeal Airway As A Supraglottic Ventilation Device For Bronchoscopic Interventions

Year: 2019
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Introduction: Bronchoscopy is performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. It is a challenge for the anaesthesiologist to maintain ventilation for the patient as the patients’ airway is shared between the anaesthetist and the bronchoscopist. Many modalities have been used for anaesthesia and airway management for bronchoscopies. We present a case of bronchoscopy guided foreign body removal under anaesthesia. Spontaneous ventilation was maintained in the patient with the help of nasal airways. Keywords: Bronchoscopy, Ventilation, Nasal airway.
