Abstract:

Acquired Benign Tracheal Stenosis (BTS) is a serious but not rare condition caused by intubation injury, trauma, and tracheal tumor. Due to shared-airway, it can make anesthesia challenging. In this study, we describe ventilation strategy and anesthesia management in three patients with BTS who underwent endoscopic treatment. Anesthesia with propofol versus remimazolam was compared. The laryngeal mask airway was used as a ventilation tool to ensure airway patency. All patients maintained stable vital signs during the procedure and were safely discharged from the hospital afterwards. Anesthetic and airway considerations were crucial to ensuring a successful surgical outcome and maximizing patient safety.
