TLDR
High frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) is a technique that is most frequently used in the intensive care unit and during tracheal and otorhinolaryngologic surgery as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
High frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) is a technique that is most frequently used in the intensive care unit and during tracheal and otorhinolaryngologic surgery. The utility of HFJV for procedures performed outside of the intensive care unit and operating room is currently being explored. The ability of HFJV to provide mechanical ventilation, yet achieve near static conditions of the chest and abdomen, makes it a very appealing technique for procedures such as pulmonary vein isolation and ablation for atrial fibrillation, targeted radiation therapy for lung and liver tumors, and certain diagnostic imaging techniques.read more

TL;DR: High-frequency jet ventilation is generally a safe technique that can be used in catheter ablation treatment under general anesthesia as well as anesthetic management and perioperative complications in patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation.
Journal ArticleDOI
High frequency jet ventilation for motion management during ablation procedures, a narrative review.
TL;DR: The aim of this review was to create a summary of the current evidence concerning the clinical use of HFJV for ablative procedures, thus enhancing surgical precision in minimal invasive procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of high-frequency jet ventilation for out of operating room anesthesia.
TL;DR: Increasing data suggest that by maintaining the thoracic and abdominal structures relatively immobile throughout the respiratory cycle, the efficiency and safety of these procedures may be improved.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of ketamine on hypoventilation during deep sedation with midazolam and propofol: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
TL;DR: Ketamine decreased the duration and severity of hypercapnia in patients undergoing deep sedation with propofol and the addition of ketamine may reduce hypoventilation and adverse effects in patients having procedures under sedation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anesthesia for Cardiac Ablation.
TL;DR: To deliver high-quality perioperative care, it is important that the anesthesiologist is intimately familiar with the evolving techniques and technologies, the anesthetic options and ventilation strategies, and the anticipated postprocedural complications.

Perioperative Normothermia to Reduce the Incidence of Surgical-Wound Infection and Shorten Hospitalization
TL;DR: Maintaining normothermia intraoperatively is likely to decrease the incidence of infectious complications in patients undergoing colorectal resection and to shorten their hospitalizations.

Obstructive sleep apnea, obesity, and the risk of incident atrial fibrillation.

TL;DR: Obesity and the magnitude of nocturnal oxygen desaturation, which is an important pathophysiological consequence of OSA, are independent risk factors for incident AF in individuals <65 years of age.

Effects of preoperative warming on the incidence of wound infection after clean surgery: a randomised controlled trial
TL;DR: Warming patients before clean surgery seems to aid the prevention of postoperative wound infection, and if applied according to the manufacturers guidelines these therapies have no known side-effects and might provide an alternative to prophylactic antibiotics in this type of surgery.

TL;DR: In the patients whose prostheses were inserted in an operating room ventilated by an ultraclean-air system the incidence of joint sepsis confirmed at reoperation within the next one to four years was about half that of patients who had had the operation in a conventionally ventilated room at the same hospital.

A Prospective Comparison of Supine Chest Radiography and Bedside Ultrasound for the Diagnosis of Traumatic Pneumothorax
TL;DR: With CT as the criterion standard, US is more sensitive than flat AP chest radiography in the diagnosis of traumatic PTX, and allowed sonologists to differentiate between small, medium, and large PTXs with good agreement with CT results.
