The effectiveness of tracheal fenestration in severe chronic forms of respiratory failure

Abstract

Fenestration of the trachea reduces resistance to respiratory air by 47% (Rohrer, 1916), facilitates exhalation due to the elimination of positive pressure in the lungs, which entails a hernial depression of the posterior wall of the trachea and large bronchi into the lumen and collapse of small bronchi, and reduces secretory-ventilation obstruction.
