Improved Oxygenation During Bronchoscopy

A method for the continuous administration of oxygen during fiberoptic bronchoscopy is described. The procedure has proved effective in elevating marginal intraoperative arterial oxygen tensions to safe levels in most patients. The technique is based on insufflation of oxygen through a fenestrated endotracheal balloon. This in no way further compromises the somewhat cramped conditions common with most forms of endoscopy.
