%X Airway management during tracheal surgery is always challenging for the anaesthesia team. Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is generally not required during tracheal surgery on the cervical trachea. However, for tracheal surgeries CPB may be advantageous and give the surgeon more freedom to work. We report three cases of post-intubation tracheal stenosis successfully managed with tracheal resection and reconstruction performed under cardiopulmonary bypass.
