Anesthesia for endotracheal tumour mass resection in pediatric patients is a rare, complex, and high-risk procedure. Decreased pulmonary function and low respiratory reserves combined with the need for extensive surgical airway access warrants multidisciplinary team collaboration and close communication. Maintaining spontaneous respiration is paramount to reduce the risk of hypoxemia-induced adverse events and preoperative considerations should include the possible need for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Finally, the use of nasal high flow for shared airway surgery shows promising prospects warranting further investigation.
