[Prevention of ventilation hypoxia in surgical interventions on the open trachea]

Presents an analysis of artificial ventilation of the lungs (AVL) during interventions on the open trachea in 32 patients. Before crossing the trachea common AVL through an orotracheal tube was used. At the stage of resection of a portion of the trachea ventilation of one or both lungs was carried out through a tube inserted from the outside as shunting respiration using a method which ruled out additional dissection of the membranous wall of the trachea or main bronchus. At the stage of formation of intertracheal and tracheobronchial anastomosis AVL was resumed through a thin orotracheal tube moved further into the distal stump of the trachea or the main bronchus. High-frequency AVL through a thin orotracheal catheter at a frequency of 150/min provides adequate oxygenation of the blood and creates favorable conditions for the intervention on the open trachea during creating a tracheal anastomosis.
