Popis: We have shown that transtracheal jet ventilation can be used safely and effectively when removing a foreign body from the airway. In some cases, it may be wise to choose this method of ventilation initially, thus avoiding the difficulties associated with more conventional modes of controlled ventilation. This is especially true when the potential for loss of the airway during the procedure is significant. This technique also allows the bronchoscopist the benefit of unimpeded access to the airway and adequate uninterrupted time for his operative procedure.
