Abstract
Removal of bronchial foreign body should be performed under general anesthesia, even though it has usually been done under local anesthesia because of many unfavorable factors of general anesthesia. Especially, pencil-cap in the bronchus is preferred to be removed under general anesthesia, because in the majority of cases it occurs in children.
We reported an anesthetic method applied in two cases of pencil-cap which we experienced recently. We made a new type of bronchoscope for using more safely under general anesthesia not only in removal of bronchial foreign body but in bronchoscopic examination, and reported its application under general anesthesia with flouthan and nitrous oxide.
