Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) occurs frequently as a comorbidity in patients undergoing surgery and interventional procedures and can lead to increased hospital length of stay and increased morbidity and risk for mortality. For the anesthetist, the challenges continue through the intraoperative period and into the postoperative recovery. This chapter will focus on the current bronchoscopic procedures and the anesthetic management for patients who undergo these therapies.
