Anaesthetic management of tracheal surgery using the neodymium-yttrium-aluminium-garnet laser.

A new technique for the management of tracheal or bronchial lesions (tumours or stenosis) using the NdYAG laser and bronchoscopy, was used in 55 patients without complications. The anesthetic problems are discussed. In some circumstances the procedure may be performed using sedation and topical anaesthesia. In most, general anaesthesia was used, controlled ventilation being achieved through the bronchoscope using a modification of the Sander's injector with mixture of 50% nitrogen and oxygen to avoid the risk of fire.

Anaesthesia for microsurgery of the larynx using a carbon dioxide laser.

Microsurgery of the larynx using the carbon dioxide laser is becoming popular and provides many advantages. The anaesthetic management described here has proved successful in clinical use. Anaesthesia is induced with thiopentone and maintained by nitrous oxide and oxygen with or without halothane. Muscle relaxation is maintained using a continuous infusion of suxamethonium. Emphasis is laid on the need to protect the tracheal tube against the fire risk from the laser beam.
