Abstract

During airway stenting for airway stenosis under rigid bronchoscopy, preservation of spontaneous breathing is desirable. We describe safe anesthesia management for left bronchial stent insertion for cancer-induced airway stenosis using remifentanil and remimazolam, due to their short half-life and availability of an antagonist, with maintenance of spontaneous respiration without hypoxemia.
