Treatment of atelectasis with selective bronchial suctioning. Use of a curved-tipped catheter with a guide mark.

چکیده
We applied our technique of selective bronchial suctioning (SBS) for the treatment of atelectasis (AT) of middle and lower lobes; nine patients with refractory ATs were successfully treated. We considered that SBS using a curve-tipped catheter with a guide mark (CTCGM) is the technique of choice for the treatment of refractory AT when conventional respiratory therapy is not effective and a bronchoscopist is not available.

It has not been determined whether rib cage compression combined with endotracheal suctioning improves oxygenation, ventilation, and mucus clearance. We evaluated the effects of rib cage compression with and without endotracheal suctioning on P(aO(2)...
