High-frequency jet ventilation is being increasingly used as an alternative to conventional methods of ventilation in both anaesthesia and intensive care. We report a case of severe respiratory obstruction as a complication of high-frequency jet ventilation. Patients with bleeding diathesis, includi

A young alcoholic presented with severe bilateral bronchopneumonia, which required prolonged treatment with intermittent positive pressure ventilation. High airway pressures were necessary for effective gas exchange. A recurrent tension pneumothorax led to a persistent bronchopleural fistula which r
Six patients with acute respiratory failure were treated with high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV): 3 because they developed barotrauma while on conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV), 2 because of sedative- or PEEP-induced hypotension on CMV, and 1 because of bronchopleural fistula. In all pati
