[Intubation of trachea and bronchi in pulmonary hemorrhages]

Abstract

The authors made an attempt to evaluate the efficiency of different means of protecting the healthy lung section against hemo-aspiration in TB surgical patients with pulmonary hemorrhages applied at the stages of surgery and narcosis administration. A total of 70 patients with different pulmonary TB variations were examined within the case study. On the basis of a conducted analysis, the author concluded that the preoperative hemorrhage arrest is the most rational tactic in the described cases. It delays the surgical intervention and cuts the number of postoperative hemo-aspiration complications.
