title: [Bronchoscopies under etomidat general anesthesis (author's transl)].
abstract: 64 bronhcoscopies performed in 1977 under general anesthesia are reported from the ENT Department of the Protestant Hospital, Oldenburg, West Germany. Indications for bronchoscopy were primarily for the diagnosis of bronchial tumors, but also included treatment of foreign body aspirations as well as the definition of tracheal stenoses and injuries from intubation anesthesias. The hypnotic agent "Etomidat" was used as anesthesia, during which the parameters of heart and peripheral circulation were carefully monitored. These remained stable; patients needed only a short time to waken, and were quickly able to again cooperate with the doctor.
