Abstract
The type of high-frequency ventilation developed by our group, high-frequency positive-pressure ventilation (HFPPV), is characterized by a ventilatory frequency of 60/min and a relative insufflation time of 22% of the period time (1). So far, it has been used clinically mainly for bronchoscopy and for laryngoscopy under general anaesthesia (2) and in a limited number of patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome (3). Recent studies of central and peripheral circulation in dogs and in patients have not shown any hemodynamic differences between HFPPV and conventional mechanical ventilation (3).
