[Does a high inspired oxygen concentration consistently play a key role in developing combustion in the airway during fiberoptic bronchoscopy guided laser treatment?–A case of firing in the airway under total intravenous anesthesia].

Abstract: We experienced combustion of a fiberoptic bronchoscope and an endotracheal tube, as well as tracheo-bronchial burn during a diode laser treatment in a hypoxemic patient requiring continuous oxygen administration. Total intravenous anesthesia and a high...
