[Experience in diagnostic-therapeutic broncho-fibroscopy with children under combined general anesthesia].

An alternative method of bronchoscopy conduction under combined general anesthesia without artificial pulmonary ventilation usage was elaborated and substantiated in the patients ageing from 3 mo to 15 yrs old. In 40 patients, using rigid bronchoscope, it was possible to look over down to the order I bronchi only. There was observed the striated body muscles fibrillation after injection of myorelaxants and in 13 (86.7%) of patients--excoriation of oral pharynx and trachea mucosa. While waking up of the patients characteristic bronchospastic disorder of respiration was noted. In 40 patients, while applying bronchofibroscopy, the examination of bronchi down to their order III was possible. Usage of the diagnostic method proposed had promoted reduction of possibility of iatrogenic complications occurrence.
