  • Title: [Use of UV autologous blood irradiation for preventing the occurrence of tracheobronchitis during tracheostomy].
    Author: Isaev IuV, Dzhangirova GM, Padenko AV, Lipikin AA.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1987 Apr; 138(4):116-8. PubMed ID: 3629828.
    Abstract:
    The authors made an analysis of incidence of tracheobronchitis in patients with tracheostomy. It was established that tracheobronchitis followed 15 of 57 tracheostomies. The use of UV autologous blood irradiation in 17 patients with tracheostomy gave only one case of tracheobronchitis while in 40 operated patients without the procedure there were 14 cases of the complication. Thus, the authors believe that the administration of UV autologous blood irradiation in tracheostomy gives 6 times less incidence of tracheobronchitis in the patients, the method being of value in prevention of the complications.
