D M Crockett et al. Laryngoscope. 1987 Nov.

Abstract

Our experience with Venturi jet ventilation as the method of anesthesia in 872 cases of microlaryngeal surgery is presented. Our indications and exact technique are presented, as well as a review of our complications. Possible pitfalls and their avoidance are discussed. With attention to detail and good clinical judgement on the part of anesthesiologist and surgeon, Venturi jet ventilation can be safe and efficient with minimal complications.
