title: [Anesthetic procedures in endoscopic interventions of the respiratory system].
abstract: Choice and application of anaesthesia in patients undergoing endoscopies of the airways have to take into consideration several specific aspects, starting with preanaesthetic investigation and premedication. On principle local anaesthesia may be administered as well as general anaesthesia or a combination of both. Using modern forms of general anaesthesia, optimal oxygen supply, sufficient carbon dioxide elimination, complete muscle relaxation and good sleep induction conditions can be provided. On the other hand reduction of reflex activity and analgesia are to be improved. The importance of a well trained and experienced anaesthetist and careful intra- and postanaesthetic supervision of the patient is emphasized.
