Monitored Anesthesia Care Using Target-Controlled Infusion with Propofol and Remifentanil in a Patient with Subglottic Stenosis

Jung Ju Choi, Kyung Cheon Lee, Hong Soon Kim and Youn Yi Jo

Symptomatic airway stenosis requires repeated interventions, such as, dilatation, laser resection, stent implantation, or surgery, and the anesthetic management of upper airway stenosis is complicated due to the risk of respiratory problems while facilitating optimal surgical conditions. The authors described a case of successful monitored anesthetic care with target-controlled propofol and remifentanil infusion during prolonged laser ablation in a patient who developed upper airway stenosis after endotracheal intubation.
