Summary

A modification of the technique by Sanders for ventilating a paralysed patient through an open-ended bronchoscope using the venturi principle is described. In comparison to other techniques of conducting bronchoscopies under general anaesthesia, this technique appears to be superior in regard to simplicity of the equipment, the anaesthetic technique, and the adequacy of ventilation, and it interferes least with manipulation by the bronchoscopist.

Résumé

Nous décrivons une modification de la technique de Sanders pour ventiler un malade paralysé au moyen d’un bronchoscope dont l’extrémité est ouverte en employant le principe de Venturi. En comparaison avec les autres techniques de faire des bronchoscopies sous anesthésie générale, cette technique-ci semble supérieure si Ton tient compte de la simplicité de son matériel, de la technique anesthésique, de la suffisance de la ventilation; de plus elle nuit très peu aux manipulations du bronchoscopiste.
