1376 EARLY CLINICAL EXPERIENCE WITH PROXIMAL HIGH - FREQUENCY JET VENTILATION (HFJV) IN NEWBORNS

High - frequency Jet Ventilation

High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) describes a technique of mechanical respiratory support based on the delivery of gases under conditions of constant flow and low pressure. Among the benefits ascribed to HFJV are lessened interference with hemodynamic function and reduced danger of barofrauma. The theoretical and technical aspects of HFJV are discussed and the clinical experience with 39 pa...

Clinical uses of high frequency jet ventilation in anaesthesia.

Since 1981, high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) has been used in 300 patients undergoing surgery, most commonly during i.v. general anaesthesia for endoscopy and surgery of the airways: laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy, laryngeal microsurgery and laser surgery (more than 230 patients); repair of tracheal stenosis, tracheal sleeve pneumonectomy and tracheal sleeve lobectomy. HFJV was administered th...

Use of high-frequency jet ventilation in neonates with hypoxemia refractory to high-frequency oscillatory ventilation.

OBJECTIVE To describe the response to high-frequency jet ventilation in infants with hypoxemic respiratory failure unresponsive to high-frequency oscillatory ventilation. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of chart records on demographics, ventilator settings, blood gas analysis and calculated oxygenation index prior to and during the first 7 days of high-frequency jet ventilation in t...

Effektiveness of CPAP versus High-Frequency Jet Ventilation by Noso- Oral Mask (HFJV-M) in treatment of Pulmonary Edema

Material and methodology: There were 196 patients hospitalized with some form of cardiogenic pulmonary edema (PE). The patients were sorted into three groups according to the severity of PE. With a comparable pharmacotherapie and comparable mean airways pressure and FiO2, the authors were comparing the effectiveness (CPAP in 64 patients and HFJV-M in 101 patients) on the speed of decrease of ve...
