[Respiratory provision of reconstructive operations for extended and multifocal tracheal stenosis].

The paper describes new approaches to anesthetic maintenance of reconstructive operations for multifocal and extended tracheal stenoses. The authors state a pathophysiological concept of and guidelines for respiratory approaches ensuring effective gas exchange and adequate hemodynamics at stages of various plastic repairs. Specifically, they describe the specific features of respiratory provision of rare surgical interventions: two-level tracheal resection and reconstruction and thyrotracheal complex transplantation in subtotal tracheal lesion. The advantages of high-frequency jet artificial ventilation using a Mansoon apparatus (Acutronic Medical Systems AG, Switzerland) are given.
