We report the case of a 43 year old male with papillary thyroid cancer with tracheal invasion by mass at the level of the upper third of the trachea that required endoscopic resection by electro surgery. As a sedation option we used dexmedetomidine. The patient didn’t have adverse effects such as tachycardia, hypotension / hypertension, or desaturation during the procedure. Dexmedetomidine has a pharmacological and safety profile that makes it an appropriate therapeutic option for use in interventional bronchoscopy.
