[Anesthesia during fiber bronchoscopy].

A comparative assessment was made between different kinds of anesthesia used with diagnostic purposes in fibroscopy such as anesthesia with fluothane--nitrous oxide, anesthesia with trilene, the sombrevin--seduxen intravenous anesthesia and local anesthesia. Observations were performed in 127 patients. The authors consider local anesthesia to be the method of choice in diagnostic fibrobronchoscopy. In cases when the local anesthesia can not be used it is expedient to employ the intravenous sombrevin--seduxen anesthesia.
