Percutaneous Transtracheal Jet Ventilation with Various Upper Airway Obstruction
A "cannot-ventilate, cannot-intubate" situation is critical. In difficult airway management, transtracheal jet ventilation (TTJV) has been recommended as an invasive procedure, but specialized equipment is required. However, the influence of upper airway resistance (UAR) during TTJV has not been clarified. The aim of this study was to compare TTJV using a manual jet ventilator (MJV) and the oxy...
متن کاملPercutaneous transtracheal jet ventilation as a guide to tracheal intubation in severe upper airway obstruction from supraglottic oedema.
We report two cases of severe upper airway obstruction caused by supraglottic oedema secondary to adult epiglottitis and Ludwig's angina. In the former case, attempts to intubate with a direct laryngoscope failed but were successful once percutaneous transtracheal jet ventilation (PTJV) had been instituted. In the case with Ludwig's angina, PTJV was employed as a pre-emptive measure and the sub...
متن کاملTranstracheal jet ventilation in a porcine model
Hypoxemia is a frequent event during difficult airway management. We propose to use transtracheal jet ventilation (TTJV) early during the management of complex difficult airway scenarios. The objective of this porcine study is to highlight the benefit of oxygenation via prophylactic TTJV. Eighteen pigs (Sus scrofa) were divided into two equal groups. In Group A, pigs were anesthetized and no lu...
متن کاملVessel dilator cricothyrotomy for transtracheal jet ventilation.
Needle cricothyrotomy is a safe, relatively easy procedure and has been described to enable pulmonary ventilation for patients in both elective and emergency situations. Conventional IV cannulae are short, thin-walled, and easily kinked and, therefore, do not provide a secure system to jet oxygen into the trachea. The vessel dilators of most 7-9 French introducer kits are firm, pliable, resist ...
متن کاملTranstracheal jet ventilation in 50 patients with severe airway compromise and stridor.
BACKGROUND Management of the airway is difficult in patients with pharyngeal or laryngeal pathology caused by malignancy, extensive surgery, or radiotherapy scarring, particularly when undergoing pharyngolaryngeal surgery. Tracheal intubation, with or without fibreoptic guidance, is often impractical because of the severe glottic stenosis and primary tracheostomy under local anaesthesia has bee...
