title: Transtracheal ventilation.
abstract: Effective percutaneous oxygenation and ventilation can be achieved through the use of transtracheal catheters. A graphic study of pressure-flow requirements through different-sized catheters can serve as a guide for the caliber and driving pressure requirement to obtain optimal oxygen flow.
