Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology
- Surgical Complications
- Respiratory Management
Background:
- Selective endobronchial intubation is a rare but serious complication during general anesthesia.
- Laparoscopic procedures, particularly cholecystectomy, involve pneumoperitoneum which can alter airway anatomy.
- Maintaining adequate oxygenation and ventilation is critical during surgery.
