PREFACE This book is based on an abstract of the author's larger work, Peroral Endoscopy and Laryngeal Surgery.

Every patient should be examined by indirect, mirror laryngoscopy as a preliminary to peroral endoscopy for any purpose whatsoever.

Endo-tracheal administration of ether is, however, far safer than peroral administration, for it overcomes the danger of respiratory arrest from pressure of the esophagoscope, foreign body, or both, on the trachea.

This is a precaution of the utmost importance and the trained habit of doing it must be developed by the peroral endoscopist.] _Position for Bronchoscopy and Esophagoscopy_.--The dorsally recumbent patient is so placed that the head and shoulders extend beyond the table, the edge of which supports the thorax at about the level of the scapulae.

The muscular tension exerted by some patients in assuming and holding a faulty position is almost as much of a hindrance to peroral endoscopy as is the position itself.
