[Unsynchronized ventilation of each lung with a selective and expiratory pressure in treatment of unilateral swallowing pneumopathy (author's transl)].

A case of unilateral lung disease, treated by independent unsynchronized ventilation of each lung, with a selective end expiratory pressure is reported. The better effects of this method seem to be the improvement of respiratory mechanics and gas exchange and the decrease of the intrapulmonary shunt.
