Abstract
A 55-year-old woman with adenocarcinoma rectum and adnexal mass with suspected peritoneal/omental deposits was scheduled for diagnostic laparoscopy to rule out peritoneal metastasis, stage the cancer and decide further management. Shortly after tracheal intubation with the rapid sequence technique, the patient’s saturation level dropped to 88%. This case highlights the importance of ventilatory strategies along with surgical intervention for management and uneventful outcomes.
