title: Preglottic low-frequency Venturi jet ventilation in laryngoscopic microsurgery in adults. The influence of inspiratory time and frequency of ventilation.
abstract: The influence of inspiratory time and frequency of jet ventilation was investigated in an experimental model of a jet ventilator and a set of artificial lungs. The optimal ventilatory settings, when used in the clinical context, result in safe, adequate ventilation, as was proved by Astrup and intratracheal pressure measurements in 15 patients.
