title: [The use of Diprivan in CO2 laser microlaryngosurgery (MLS)].
abstract: It is the aim of the study to outline the advantages of Diprivan anesthesia in laser microlaryngosurgery. The types of endotracheal tubes used in laser MLS are described, with emphasis on their contribution to prevent ignition and fire accidents. The anesthesiological technique employed during surgical interventions is discussed. After comparative assessment with conventional techniques, the inference is reached that Diprivan is a further alternative available, and should be considered in the choice of anesthesiological techniques for MLS.
