Article Synopsis
- Bullous emphysema is a chronic lung disease marked by the presence of large air spaces called bullae, with giant bullae being particularly significant and often requiring surgical removal known as bullectomy.
- A 35-year-old man with a history of COVID-19 experienced chest pain and difficulty breathing, leading to the discovery of a giant bulla in his left lung on imaging scans.
- Remarkably, after monitoring over several months, the giant bulla spontaneously resolved without surgery, suggesting that infectious processes may play a role in this phenomenon, highlighting the importance of careful imaging and follow-up in similar cases.

Background: Anesthetic management of a patient with multiple giant bullae is generally difficult due to an increased risk of respiratory complications, and there is no consensus regarding safe extubation methods. We report a case of an effective use of a supraglottic airway (i-gel™) during emergence from anesthesia in a patient with multiple giant bullae, in whom a double-lumen bronchial tube was being used during anesthesia.
Case Presentation: A 52-year-old man with multiple giant bullae underwent video-assisted pulmonary resections, while the ventilation was controlled via a double-lumen bronchial tube.
