Abstract
A 12-year-old boy (70 kg) with right bronchial obstruction is scheduled for fiber-optic bronchoscopy and rigid bronchoscopy with laser treatment. His history and physical examination are unremarkable. A tumor of unknown origin is thought to partially obstruct the right main bronchus. The patient has no known drug or food allergies and no previous anesthesia/surgery. The family history is negative for anesthesia-related complications. The patient is classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status II (ASA 2).
