title: Venturi insufflation oxygenation during nonintubated endolaryngeal microsurgery.
abstract: Two hundred patients are reviewed in whom endolaryngeal suspension microsurgical procedures were performed under intravenous anesthesia and Venturie insufflation oxygenation without significant complication. The technique allowed the glottic space to remain free of cumbersome intraluminal apparatus. Arterial blood studies revealed that adequate oxygenation was achieved while normal pH and PCO2 was maintained. It is a technique which should be considered in microsurgical laryngeal procedures.
