Abstract
We present the case of a 53-year-old man who attended our emergency department with stridor. He had recently undergone investigation for possible glottis cancer. We discuss the airway management of such a case. We believe this to be the first description of propofol target controlled infusion and clonidine to supplement a sevoflurane gas induction, in order to obtund response to intubation while maintaining spontaneous ventilation. We also consider how airway interventions may impact prognosis and need to be considered.
