Mechanical ventilation for acute postoperative respiratory failure after surgery for bronchial carcinoma.
From 1978 to 1982 365 patients were treated surgically for bronchial carcinoma. Lobectomy was performed in 250 and pneumonectomy in 115. Sixteen (4.4%) needed mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure. Six out of eight with a lobectomy, but only two out of eight with a pneumonectomy, survived initially. Of these eight survivors, five died from recurrent malignancy within a year but three were alive and well at two years. The complications leading to acute respiratory failure were unpredictable in most patients. Improving techniques of mechanical ventilation and intensive care may lead to better results in the future.

Endoscopic treatment of a whistling middle-lobe bronchus.
A 32-year old man presented with dyspnea and a loud inspiratory wheeze. Examination revealed a nonfibrous, fissure-shaped entrance to the middle-lobe bronchus. The cause of this stenosis was unclear. Endoscopic treatment consisted of splitting the spur and resulted in complete disappearance of the wheeze.
