    Abstract:
    A 70-year-old man with pneumoconiosis receiving home oxygen therapy presented with chest pain. Coronary angiogram showed severe stenosis of his left main trunks and required emergency off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol, fentanyl and vecuronium. The trachea was intubated and the lungs were ventilated with oxygen and air maintaining the PaO2 between 80-100 mmHg and the PaCO2 between 55-65 mmHg. The operation was performed uneventfully. In the intensive care unit, the trachea was extubated after ensuring adequate respiratory function. The postoperative course was satisfactory.
