    Abstract:
    First clinical experience of assisted high-frequency controlled lung ventilation has been reviewed in 11 patients with esophageal cancer and acute respiratory failure developing in the early postoperative period. The technique proved effective for hypoxemia relief, with the catheter introduced into the trachea transcutaneously or intranasally. High-frequency controlled lung ventilation had a positive effect on the cardiac function and oxygen transport. The technique is easily reproducible, permits adequate bronchotracheal cleansing and is well tolerated. Preservation of spontaneous respiration allows inhalation therapy and has a favourable psychological effect on the patients.
