High frequency jet ventilation for severe haemoptysis during extracorporeal circulation

Anaesthesia. 1995 Feb;50(2):146-8. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2044.1995.tb15099.x.

Abstract

Two patients are described in whom fulminant haemoptysis occurred during extracorporeal circulation. The use of high frequency jet ventilation resulted in a dramatic decrease of blood loss from the tracheal tube, avoiding the need for more aggressive management.
