Transtracheal administration of oxygen is a new technique for long term treatment. Twenty patients with hypoxaemia due to chronic obstructive airways disease were studied while receiving oxygen through a microcatheter inserted percutaneously into the trachea. By bypassing most of the dead space and avoiding oxygen wastage at the face this method of delivery reduced oxygen requirements by roughly half compared with delivery through nasal cannulas, thus reducing costs and facilitating portable treatment. Twelve of these patients continued to use the system for up to 13 months in preference to using nasal cannulas. Two important complications were a staphylococcal infection and a fractured catheter. Transtracheal oxygen reduced breathlessness and helped patients with routine daily activities. Transtracheal administration of oxygen is a practical method of treatment which may have an important role in rehabilitating patients with chronic lung disease.
经气管给氧是一种用于长期治疗的新技术。对20例因慢性阻塞性气道疾病导致低氧血症的患者进行了研究，这些患者通过经皮插入气管的微导管接受氧气。通过绕过大部分无效腔并避免面部的氧气浪费，这种输送方法与通过鼻导管输送相比，可将氧气需求减少约一半，从而降低成本并便于便携式治疗。其中12例患者继续使用该系统长达13个月，而不愿使用鼻导管。两个重要的并发症是葡萄球菌感染和导管断裂。经气管给氧减轻了呼吸困难，并有助于患者进行日常活动。经气管给氧是一种切实可行的治疗方法，可能在慢性肺病患者的康复中发挥重要作用。
