A right para-tracheal mass extending into the anterior mediastinum: An anesthetic management conundrum
The anesthetic management of patients with a mediastinal mass represent a challenge due to the potential for difficult ventilation and intubation, as well as the risk of cardiovascular collapse upon induction of general anesthesia. Different strategies and alternatives have been described. We presen...

| Sumario: | The anesthetic management of patients with a mediastinal mass represent a challenge due to the potential for difficult ventilation and intubation, as well as the risk of cardiovascular collapse upon induction of general anesthesia. Different strategies and alternatives have been described. We present the case of a 70-year-old man with a right para-tracheal mass extending into the anterior mediastinum with 90% mid-tracheal lumen obstruction who was successfully managed with venous-venous extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) during mass debulking and tracheal stent placement. |
