[High frequency ventilation by the inter-cricothyroid approach during ENT endoscopy: report on 83 cases (author's transl)].
The value of high frequency ventilation employing the inter-cricothyroid approach was assessed during general anesthesia for endoscopic examination of the upper respiratory tract passages. The technique for introducing the inter-cricothyroid canula, and the ventilatory apparatus, are described, and results exposed as a function of local effects of puncture and the quality of pulmonary ventilation obtained. Advantages, and other indications for the use of this technique, are discussed.

[Tracheo-bronchial foreign bodies in the child. Analysis of 43 cases (author's transl)].
The authors report 43 cases of the presence of foreign bodies in the respiratory tract seen over a 20 year period in the University Pediatric Clinic of Kinshasa (Republic of Zaïre). In the light of these cases, it would appear that this pathological condition has apredilection for the infant, with a peak in the 1 to 2 year age group. There is a marked predominance for the male sex (60 %). ⋯ As far as site is concerned, the bronchi are involved more often than trachea and the right side more than the left. Three children died including two during endoscopic extraction. Bronchial stenosis (1 case) and bronchi estasis (1 case) are the only complications seen in the long term.

[Anaesthesia for laryngoscopy in suspension in the child (author's transl)].
After reviewing the different methods of ventilation by pulsed oxygen used for anaesthesia during laryngoscopy in suspension in the child, the authors describe a technique of introduction of the endotracheal catheter which makes it possible to reduce the risk of alveolar hyperpressure at the time of installation of the laryngoscope and at the time of waking.

[Our experience with pulsed oxygen and general anesthesia in direct suspension laryngoscopy].
The authors describe a group of 77 direct suspension laryngoscopies in which general anaesthesia and oxygen therapy were used. The technique is described in considerable detail. The catheter used is independent of the laryngoscope and is passed into the nasal cavity. ⋯ For the O.-R.-L. practitioner using the method, the advantages are as follows: induction anaesthesia is quicker than after neuroleptanalgesia, exposure of the larynx is excellent due to curarization and three endoscopies can be carried out in the same operation: laryngoscopy, oesophagoscopy and bronchoscopy. The disadvantage of general anaesthesia is that it makes it impossible to judge the mobility of the larynx. In 7,8 p. 100 of the cases, direct suspension laryngoscopy proved difficult or impossible to carry out fir anatomical reasons.
