Abstract :
Tracheobronchial clot-induced airway obstruction is a life-threatening situation, requiring
emergent intervention and expertise to prevent a catastrophic outcome. We report successful
resuscitation of a kidney disease patient who developed complete airway obstruction and
consequent cardiac arrest due to a large tracheobronchial blood clot during emergency
bronchoscopy for continued hemoptysis.
