Anaesthesia for paediatric bronchoscopy requires special equipment and a sound knowledge of the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the paediatric airway, which determine key differences between paediatric and adult bronchoscopy. Whenever possible it should be performed in a tertiary referral centre. There must be excellent communication between the anaesthetist and the endoscopist to ensure that adequate oxygenation is maintained via the shared airway.
