Implication

Case report demonstrates airway management in tracheal obstruction for a patient with anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, implying collaborative approaches are vital.

Key Points

  • To discuss the perioperative management strategies for critical tracheal stenosis in a patient with anaplastic thyroid carcinoma.
  • Managed a 67-year-old male with ATC and critical airway obstruction through tracheal stenting under general anaesthesia.
  • Utilized a multidisciplinary team to address complicated airway anatomy and additional respiratory concerns.
  • Applied techniques such as high-flow nasal oxygenation, dexmedetomidine infusion, and topical lignocaine for airway management.
  • Achieved successful placement of a self-expanding metallic stent under preserved spontaneous ventilation.
  • Facilitated intermittent jet ventilation using an I-gel supraglottic airway during intervention.
  • Highlighted the crucial role of careful airway planning and teamwork in managing life-threatening tracheal conditions.
