[20 years' experience using anesthesia in pediatric bronchology].

The authors inform about their experience with anesthesia gained in the last 20 years with 50,000 bronchological examinations in children. Different anesthesia methods are discussed. They conclude that local anesthesia in adults and in adolescents is a possible procedure using fiberscope. In infants and children the most preferred anesthesia is halothane-nitrous oxide-oxygen-anesthesia with relaxation by succinylcholine.
