The anaesthetic management of a patient who required right lower lobectomy for bronchial carcinoma associated with emphysema, pneumoconiosis and a previous thoracoplasty for pulmonary tuberculosis, is described. A technique of unilateral high frequency jet ventilation plus conventional intermittent positive pressure ventilation to the contralateral lung was used.

A 70-year-old man with pneumoconiosis receiving home oxygen therapy presented with chest pain. Coronary angiogram showed severe stenosis of his left main trunks and required emergency off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol, fentanyl and vecuronium. The trachea was intubated and the lungs were ventilated with oxygen and air maintaining the PaO2 between 80-100 mmHg and the PaCO2 between 55-65 mmHg. The operation was performed uneventfully. In the intensive care unit, the trachea was extubated after ensuring adequate respiratory function. The postoperative course was satisfactory.

Bronchial anthracosis was recently defined in the English radiology literature as a luminal narrowing associated with anthracotic pigmentation on bronchoscopy without a relevant history of pneumoconiosis or smoking. Anthracosis refers to the presence of carbon particles in the lungs, not to a disorder per se. Anthracofibrotic lesions carry the potential risk of massive hemorrhage during endobronchial procedures. This report describes a case of general anesthesia for a left modified radical mastectomy due to an intraductal carcinoma in a patient with known bronchial anthracofibrosis.
