[Respiratory complications in lymphatic neoplasm of the mediastinum. A case report (author's transl)].
In this case report two accidents are described, in which a tracheal stenosis has happened. The stenosis in both cases was evoked by lymphatic neoplasms in the mediastine. The kinetics of the lymphatic fluid in anaesthesia and in intermittent positive pressure ventilation are discussed. The first patient had to be radiated with the "Gammatron" for reduction of lymphatic tissue in the following four days and then he could be extubated. The second patient could be extubated the same day after CPAP breathing for several hours.
