title: Combined unilateral high frequency jet ventilation and contralateral intermittent positive pressure ventilation.
abstract: The anaesthetic management of a patient who required right lower lobectomy for bronchial carcinoma associated with emphysema, pneumoconiosis and a previous thoracoplasty for pulmonary tuberculosis, is described. A technique of unilateral high frequency jet ventilation plus conventional intermittent positive pressure ventilation to the contralateral lung was used.
