Maintenance of balance between airway pressure and intracranial pressure in a patient with tracheal stenosis undergoing craniotomy: a case report

Background and objectives: Tracheal stenosis is a rare but a life-threatening condition and anesthesia of a patient with tracheal stenosis is challenging for anesthesiologists. Maintaining stable hemodynamics and ventilation parameters are important issues in neuroanesthesia. Any increase in airway...

Resumo: Justificativa e objetivos: Estenose traqueal é uma doença rara, mas de risco, e a anestesia em paciente com estenose traqueal é um desafio para os anestesiologistas. Manter os parâmetros hemodinâmicos estáveis e a ventilação são questões importantes em neuroanestesia.

Conclusão: A preparação detalhada para a intubação, estabilizar a dinâmica das vias aéreas e tomar a decisão certa para a cirurgia foram pontos importantes. Manter um bom equilíbrio entre a dinâmica cerebral e a dinâmica das vias aéreas foi a pérola deste caso.
