Abstract
- We applied our technique of selective bronchial suctioning (SBS) for the treatment of atelectasis after resection surgery of lung in four patients with refractory atelectasis who were treated successfully. We considered that SBS using hydro-catheter insertion under local anesthesia above fourth tracheal ring is the effective technique for the treatment of refractory atelectasis when conventional respiratory therapy is not effective and a bronchoscopist is not available.
