  • Title: Management of bronchopleural fistula with a variable-resistance valve and a single ventilator.
    Author: Carvalho P, Thompson WH, Riggs R, Carvalho C, Charan NB.
    Journal: Chest; 1997 May; 111(5):1452-4. PubMed ID: 9149613.
    Abstract:
    Independent lung ventilation with two ventilators is sometimes used in the management of bronchopleural fistula (BPF). We describe a patient in whom gas flow through a large BPF was initially reduced, and subsequently eliminated, during differential lung ventilation using a single ventilator and a variable-resistance valve attached to one lumen of a bifurcated endotracheal tube.
