Selective bronchial intubation for one lung anaesthesia in thoracic surgery. A new method.

A new method for one lung anaesthesia in thoracic surgery is described. Separate lung ventilation is obtained with selective main bronchus intubation, by means of an appropriate cuffed tube inserted through a standard orotracheal tube. Ventilation is carried out separately through the bronchial tube on one side and the residual tracheal tube lumen on the other side. This method greatly simplifies the technique of bronchial intubation and offers many advantages over commercially available double-lumen tubes.

[Intensive care units in surgery].

The reasons why intensive care units have become essential are examined. The purpose of such units is to modify the organization of hospital assistance according to the concept of progressive treatment in line with the gravity of the disease concerned. Monitoring techniques as a function of the patient's gravity are outlined and the use of electronic processing as a valuable contribution to the surgeon in providing him with a complete and speedy physiological profile of the seriously ill patient is recommended. Finally, the cost of intensive care units is examined and to keep it down careful attention must be paid to the type of pathology admitted to such units. In spite of this by no means negligible factor, institution of such units is still recommended as quickly as possible, their organization being moulded to the situation in question.
