title: High frequency jet ventilation in complete oral rehabilitation.
abstract: High frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) has been used recently as an alternative to conventional endotracheal intubation in bronchoscopy and laryngoscopy procedure. The objective of this study was to define the applicability of the system to dental procedures performed on healthy and medically compromised patients. A total of seventeen pediatric patients ranging in age from twenty-eight months to fourteen years were included. The results of this study indicate that this technique is most beneficial for non-extraction cases, especially those with coagulation disorders or significant airway abnormalities. Routine use of this technique is not generally recommended. The physical characteristics of the smaller diameter soft catheter used in HFJV exemplify the advantages of this technique.
