[Anesthesia in interventional pulmonology -- bronchoscopy and jet ventilation].

Today interventional procedures are frequently used for diagnosis and treatment in patients with various pulmonary diseases. Besides bronchoscopy in local- or general anesthesia jet-ventilation is commonly applied via catheter or rigid bronchoscope. Anesthesiologists should have profound knowledge of high-frequency ventilation and possible complications when assisting during interventional procedures. © Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.
