Bronchial Carcinoid tumours are rare to diagnose and need a multidisciplinary approach for treatment. Early excision helps recurrence free period with good prognosis. The Carcinoid syndrome is to be evaluated in these lesions to tailor the plan of treatment. Excision of Lung tumours require one lung ventilation and anaesthesiologist face a challenge to maintain ventilation and oxygenation due to altered physiology related to patient-positioning, one lung ventilation and hemodynamic changes are to be considered. In this case reports we discuss about “The Anaesthetic considerations for bronchial carcinoid tumour excision and emphasising strategies to mitigate Intraoperative Hypoxia during One lung ventilation”.
