Jet transcatheter artificial ventilation in the surgical treatment of tracheal cicatricial stenosis

: The authors present the results of a study of the baseline condition, the parameters of external respiratory function, gas exchange, and hemodynamics in 42 patients with tracheal cicatricial stenosis (TCS). The impact of transcatheter normofrequency artificial ventilation (AL) on the respiratory and circulatory parameters was studied during surgical TCS removal. The baseline impairments were identified in the external respiratory system and in the hemodynamic provision of breathing processes, which corresponded to first-second grade respiratory failure disorders, despite preoperative tracheal bougienage elimination. Normofrequency and high-frequency AL is the method of choice in treating patients with concomitant respiratory diseases.
