Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

A surgical method of formation of a fistula of the main bronchus in dogs was performed by means of a polyvinyl alcohol T-tube. The simultaneous occlusion of the bronchus above the place of fistula formation isolated the lung from the upper respiratory tract.

However, gas exchange functions are maintained through the free external end of the fistula.

This method is of practical use in certain chronic experiments concerned with lung pathology. Bronchitis, atelectasis, bronchiectasis, etc. may be successfully studied in the course of their development by means of bronchography, bacteriology and administration of different substances and drugs through the open end of the fistula.
