Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates improved stent placement in elderly patients with severe airway obstruction, suggesting tailored anaesthetic strategies are effective.

Key Points

To evaluate the effectiveness of regional airway anaesthesia for flexible bronchoscopic tracheal stenting in patients with severe airway obstruction.
Presented a case of an elderly woman with metastatic thyroid carcinoma and airway obstruction.
Adopted regional airway anaesthesia with titrated sedation to preserve spontaneous ventilation during stent placement.
Conducted stent deployment under flexible bronchoscopy conditions.
Successful stent deployment was achieved with minimal complications in the reported case.
Transient desaturation occurred, but immediate symptomatic improvement was observed post-procedure.
