High-frequency ventilation (HFV) has been used with good results in a variety of clinical situations where conventional ventilation has proved ineffective. However, all of the reports so far have involved the use of a specially purchased specifically designed ventilator which tends to be unfamiliar to most medical and nursing staff responsible for its use. A case where HFV was used in combination with differential lung ventilation in the treatment of unilateral pulmonary atelectasis is described using a Servo 900B as the high-frequency ventilator. It serves to demonstrate that the Servo 900B can be used as an occasional high-frequency ventilator as required, thus avoiding the expense of purchasing a specialized ventilator.
高频通气（HFV）已被用于多种传统通气已被证明无效的临床情况，且效果良好。然而，迄今为止所有的报告都涉及使用专门购买的、专门设计的呼吸机，而大多数负责使用它的医护人员往往对其并不熟悉。本文描述了一个使用Servo 900B作为高频呼吸机，将高频通气与肺区别通气相结合治疗单侧肺不张的病例。这表明Servo 900B可根据需要偶尔用作高频呼吸机，从而避免购买专用呼吸机的费用。
