    AbstractA 59-year-old man with poor pulmonary functions was scheduled for thoracoscopic lung resection because of right pneumothorax. In order to preserve spontaneous breathing and prevent left pneumothorax, we selected epidural anesthesia and intravenous dexmedetomidine. We could provide appropriate sedative and antianxiety effect without respiratory depression and hemodynamic change. With its unique features, dexmedetomidine is useful for thoracoscopic surgery in a patient with poor lung functions.
