Emergency and unexpected difficult airway management can rapidly deteriorate into a critical airway event such as "cannot ventilate, cannot intubate" (CVCI). A critical airway event (i.e., inadequate mask ventilation, failed intubation, and CVCI) can be resolved by rescue ventilation, thus avoiding potential neurological disability or death. Recommended options include use of the larygeal mask ...

The aim of this publication is to analyze the topic high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV), namely catheter HFJV (C-HFJV), from a mathematical–physical as well clinical point view. There are known issues with applying anesthesia and artificial lung (ALV) during surgical procedures in upper airways, e.g., bronchoscopy or tracheostomy. principles, advantages, disadvantages discussed context basic ...
