High Frequency Jet Ventilation Prevents Aspiration during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 June 2012
Extract
Ventilation is an integral part of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Early intubation is recommended not only for the sake of better ventilation but also to prevent aspiration since aspiration is a common occurrence during CPR. It probably not infrequently contributes to an unfavorable outcome. Endotracheal intubation is sometimes very difficult especially under field conditions. Cricothyroid membrane puncture or transtracheal puncture with a 14g or 16g catheter needle enables high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) and can often be performed more easily than intubation.
