Abstract
Various modalities such as cryoprobe-transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB)/transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) have been described for lung biopsy procedure. However, anaesthetic concerns related to periprocedural planning for paediatric TBLC have not been previously reported in the literature as clinical experience with paediatric TBLC is just evolving. The airway and general anaesthetic management of TBLC in a 12-year-old girl is described. TBLC in a child requires rigid bronchoscopy under general anaesthesia by an experienced endoscopist who, along with the anaesthesiologist, is alert all the time to keep the peak airway pressures low to avoid barotrauma.
