[General anesthesia and bronchoscopy].
High frequency, positive pressure ventilation during anesthesia for bronchoscopy, uses the intermittent delivery of oxygen and an anesthetic gas mixture thus avoiding the risks of hypoxia, retention of carbon dioxide and concomitant acidosis. This technique may be used with low pressures in the airways (8 to 10 cm of water during insufflation).
