Popis: Anaesthesia for endoscopic airway surgery involves unique challenges. The anaesthetist and surgeon are working in close anatomical proximity and the concept of shared airway is never more relevant. Understanding the planned procedure and the needs of the surgeon for access to the surgical field will enable the provision of anaesthesia and airway management using a variety of techniques. Planning for safe induction, maintenance and emergence of anaesthesia will also be guided by the specific pathology and patient characteristics and requires effective communication between the surgeon and anaesthetist.
