Respiration triggered CO2 laser application in the Larynx — a a possibility to reduce the smoke inhalation of patients ?

Abstract

The following is a report on a CO2 laser-respiration-triggering with its application in the larynx causing a reduction in the smoke load of the patient. From the result observed — an impro — ved suction capability and a reduced smoke-intensity in the ex —pired respiratory gas — it would appear that this method were suitable for practical application.
