[REVIEW OF THE CURRENT METHODS OF RESPIRATORY SUPPORT FOR TRACHEAL SURGERY.]

Area of Science:

• Anesthesiology
• Thoracic Surgery
• Respiratory Physiology

Background:

• Tracheal surgery has advanced significantly, necessitating specialized anesthetic and respiratory management.
• Complex resections and reconstructions of the airway require novel ventilation strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review modern respiratory techniques used in tracheal surgery.
• To discuss the pathophysiological features of each technique.

Main Methods:

• Literature search conducted on Scientific Electronic Library, Central Scientific Medical Library, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science.
• Review of pathophysiological characteristics of various respiratory methods.

Main Results:

• Key techniques include shunt-breathing, high-frequency jet ventilation, extracorporeal oxygenation, and apneic oxygenation.
• Each method presents unique physiological considerations for airway management.

Conclusions:

• Anesthesiologists require expertise in these advanced respiratory techniques for optimal patient outcomes in tracheal surgery.
• Understanding the pathophysiology of each method is vital for safe and effective application.
