title: The management of anaesthesia for patients with cystic fibrosis.
abstract: The clinical problems of patients with cystic fibrosis who require anaesthesia are reviewed. The management and the complications of anaesthesia in 77 patients over a 3-year period are presented. The long term effects of anaesthesia are analysed by a study of the lung function tests of these patients. The results suggest that even multiple procedures, as for instance nasal polypectomy, are not harmful. A method for safe peroperative management is presented.
