Comparative Study
[Transtracheal jet pulmonary ventilation as a measure for preventing hypoxia during reconstructive maxillofacial operations].
Anesthesia including high- or low-frequency transtracheal jet ventilation of the lungs was used in 52 patients with maxillofacial abnormalities subjected to repair surgery. The number of respiratory cycles was 20 per min in 1 group and 120 per min in the other. ⋯ Transtracheal jet ventilation of the lungs prevented hypoxia during intubation of the trachea in such patients. High-frequency jet ventilation of the lungs may be a method of choice in such cases.
