A 73-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with severe respiratory distress due to postpneumonectomy neoplastic central airway obstruction. An emergency recanalization with rigid bronchoscopy (RB) was planned. Controlled and jet ventilation are routinely used to assure ventilation during RB, but the risk of inadequate oxygenation and removal of carbon dioxide was prohibitively high in this case due to the presence of a single lung. The use of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was decided by multidisciplinary team to support ventilation during RB. Complete airway recanalization was successfully achieved without any complications. The patient was discharged 2 days later. Pathology revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma, and the patient was reviewed for oncologic treatment.

Background: Non-ketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by defects in the glycine cleavage system, leading to elevated glycine levels in the central nervous system. NKH manifests in various forms, with the neonatal type being the most severe and often associated with high mortality and significant neurological impairment. This case report highlights the successful uses of desflurane and nitrous oxide for anesthetic management in a patient with NKH.

A saber-sheath trachea is a type of tracheal deformity characterized by coronal narrowing and sagittal widening of the intrathoracic trachea. In this case report, we describe a 76-year-old man with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and repeated episodes of type 2 respiratory failure that responded poorly to inhaled long-acting β2 agonists, long-acting muscarinic antagonists, and corticosteroids. The patient was admitted to our hospital due to a COPD exacerbation.
