Summary The anaesthetic requirements for tracheal resection include a clear airway, adequate ventilation and good surgical access. Many techniques have been described, none of which is entirely satisfactory. This case reports on the use of high‐frequency jet ventilation with 10Fg catheter combined with muscle relaxants and intravenous anaesthesia in a patient with tracheal stenosis.
