Background: Bronchoscopy may be either rigid or flexible. Rigid bronchoscopy is usually done for diagnosis and treatment of intra and/or extra luminal obstruction in the airway for adults and children, anaesthesia for bronchoscopy poses unique challenges for the anaesthesiologist. This procedure needs specific technical precision because both the anaesthesiologist and operator share the same working space, that is, the airway. Pediatric rigid bronchoscopy needs a deep level of general anesthesia with a good (profound) muscle relaxation for a short time, with the modern anesthetic muscle relaxant rocuronium Bromide and its unique rapid onset it gives chance to be used in challenging airway procedures like rigid bronchoscopy and with the its newly advent of selective reversal, sugamadex, encourage its use in pediatric rigid bronchoscopy as it is usually performed for Fo..
