Abstract

A 4-month-old male presented to the emergency department due to severe subglottic stenosis causing respiratory distress which required otolaryngologists to evaluate the airway via a direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy. This case was complicated by severe airway obstruction, which caused multiple desaturations during the procedure. Successful restorations of SpO2 to 98% were achieved via supplemental nasal oxygenation and bronchoscopy with a port to provide tracheal oxygen supplementation through the scope. This presentation will review the risks of maintaining ventilation during bronchoscopy and optimal anesthetic techniques for oxygen supplementation.
