AbstractFour cases of airway complications in infants surviving jet ventilation have been observed at the Children's Hospital of New Mexico. Two cases of necrotizing tracheobronchitis in preterm infants are presented: one was treated with bronchoscopy and removal of the necrotizing tissue; the second was placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, prior to dilation of the affected area. A third child developed subglottic stenosis after intubation with an oversized jet endotracheal tube. A fourth child, with a history of prematurity and jet ventilation as a neonate, was found at 3 years of age to have tracheal webs in the lower third of his airway. Management and follow-up of these four cases, as well as a literature review of the known airway complications of jet ventilation, are presented.
