Abstract:
Primary airway tumors are accounted about 1 % of respiratory tumors and have above 20 types. However, due to particularity of the anatomy and function of airway, early diagnosis of the primary air tumors is difficult and the rate of misdiagnosis can reach 83.3 %. To reduce the rate of misdiagnosis, the key measurements of diagnosis are recognization of primary airway tumors, and the main methods include chest computed tomography (CT) and fiberoptic bronchoscopy examination. Surgical treatment is an important part,it includes tumor excision by airway fenestration, the part excision of airway and suture, the resection of airway tumor by its margin and anastomosis, and carinal resection and anastomosis. Anesthesia and the management of respiratory airway are important guarantees for the successful operation. According to the difference of the tumors, the suitable method of anesthesia should be choiced. It is emphasized for anesthesiologist to participate in the preoperative discussion. The postoperative complications include the anastomotic fistula, the anastomotic fistula communication with large vessel, the anastomotic stenosis and granuloma formation, and the pulmonary infection and atelectasis.
