Extract

Investigation of High Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV) for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was initiated to determine whether HFJV may be used as an alternative to conventional intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) and also to determine whether HFJV may be employed in CPR if cardiac arrest should occur during use of HFJV.

The novel method of HFJV has several advantages over conventional ventilation, namely low airway pressure, no hemodynamic impairment and no need for muscle paralysis. Transtracheal HFJV offers in addition cricothyroid membrane puncture as a fast alternative to tracheal intubation in cases of difficult airway control. It is able to prevent aspiration, and allows direct intrapulmonary drug administration.
