  • Title: Percutaneous transtracheal high frequency jet ventilation as an aid to difficult intubation.
    Author: McLellan I, Gordon P, Khawaja S, Thomas A.
    Journal: Can J Anaesth; 1988 Jul; 35(4):404-5. PubMed ID: 3402016.
    Abstract:
    A case is described where prophylactic high frequency jet ventilation through a percutaneous transtracheal cannula was performed. This guaranteed adequate ventilation of a patient who was known to be difficult to intubate, enabling a paralyzing dose of succinylcholine to be given and intubation to be performed safely in a well oxygenated patient scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting.
