  • Title: [Intraoperative application of forced diffusion-ventilation (FDV)].
    Author: Mutz N, Baum M, Benzer H, Duma S, Moritz E.
    Journal: Anaesthesist; 1982; 31(9):427-33. PubMed ID: 6816088.
    Abstract:
    Forced diffusion ventilation (FDV), a modified high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV), was applied intraoperatively (mean duration: 126 min) in 14 patients (7 thoracic, 7 major abdominal surgery patients). Sufficient gas exchange could be achieved with extremely low tidal volumes (10-30 ml) at frequencies up to 1500/min. This resulted in an almost complete immobilization of the lungs allowing an excellent surgical exposure.
