Abstract
High frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) is capable of providing total respiratory support through a 14 gauge catheter introduced by cricothyroid membrane puncture (1). This method offers distinct advantages for emergency use. It can be performed even in conscious patients under local anesthesia without muscle paralysis. In such a way sometimes traumatic attempts at intubation in emergency situations can be avoided and the need for extensive neck hyperextension eliminated. Because cricothyroid membrane puncture is usually easy we can secure the airway in a short time.
