title: [Temporary occlusion of the bronchi in the treatment of complex suppurative destruction of the lungs].
abstract: In the period from 1984 to 1987 the authors had under observation 179 patients with acute pulmonary destruction following various courses. Variants of temporary occlusion of the fistula-carrying bronchus were performed in 54 patients in whom the disease was complicated by bronchopleural fistula and pyopneumothorax. Occlusion of a lobar or segmental bronchus (51 patients) was preceded by preliminary flow cleansing of the affected bronchopulmonary areas and intrapleural hydrolavage of the lung with alternating pressure. In 3 patients temporary occlusion of the bronchus was conducted with a hollow obturator according to the method suggested by the authors; the method allows cleansing of the affected lung with the occluded bronchus to be combined with its gradual re-expansion. Four among the 54 treated patients died, 50 recovered.
