title: Ventilatory monitoring during microlaryngeal surgery using jet insufflation anaesthesia.
abstract: We describe a method for continuous measurement of end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration during jet insufflation anaesthesia for microlaryngeal surgery. This increases the safety of the technique by allowing closer monitoring of inspired and expired gases during anaesthesia.
