Summary
A case of unilateral pneumothorax occurred during laryngobronchoscopy anesthesia. Jet ventilation during complicated anesthesia raises suspicion for pneumothorax.
Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology
- Pulmonology
- Critical Care Medicine
Background:
- Laryngobronchoscopy is an endoscopic procedure used for diagnosing and treating conditions of the larynx and tracheobronchial tree.
- Anesthesia for laryngobronchoscopy can be complex, with potential complications including airway trauma and respiratory issues.
- Unilateral pneumothorax, the presence of air in the pleural space leading to lung collapse on one side, is a rare but serious complication.
