Abstract

Bronchoscopy is widely used as diagnostic and therapeutic practice since bronchoscopy for foreign bodies removal was introduced 100 yrs ago by the German otolaryngologist G. KilIian. But this procedure is needed adequate anesthesia because it can lead to anorexia, severe cough and respiratory distress. We report two cases that required adequate anesthesia and airway management when flexible bronchoscopic management.
