One lung high frequency ventilation for peroral sealing of bronchial stump fistulae.
The use of high frequency ventilation for 28 repairs of bronchial stump fistulae with fibrin sealant is discussed. Intravenous anaesthesia with continuous infusions of methohexitone, alfentanil and suxamethonium was employed. This method of anaesthesia and ventilation proved to be satisfactory.
