    Author: Donner A, Lanzenberger-Schragl E, Kashanipour A, Zimpfer M, Aloy A.
    Journal: Acta Anaesthesiol Scand Suppl; 1996; 109():153-7. PubMed ID: 8901990.
    Abstract:
    Using SHFJV in combination with the jet laryngoscope it is possible to ventilate patients for laryngeal surgery with out the necessity for any kind of endotracheal tube or catheters. This technique can also safely be applied in patients with underlying pulmonary or cardiac disease or in obese patients. Patients with laryngeal stenosis can be ventilated from above the stenosis eliminating the danger of barotrauma. The laser can be used at any time the surgeon desires without any additional protective measures. The SHFJV can be used for tracheobronchial stent insertion. Only in cases were the glottis can not be visualized through the jet laryngoscope sufficient ventilation is not ensured and therefore transtracheal high frequency ventilation is the technique of choice.
