Exam mapping & scope
This chapter covers anesthetic and airway strategies for interventional pulmonology (IP) procedures with emphasis on endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), peripheral bronchoscopy (including robotic platforms), rigid bronchoscopy for central airway obstruction, and bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR). Domains include sedation strategy and monitoring, airway device selection, ventilatory approaches to minimize atelectasis, oxygen management during thermal and non‑thermal therapies, mediastinal mass considerations, pleuroscopy/MAC anesthesia, and complication prevention and rescue.
