title: High frequency jet ventilation for severe haemoptysis during extracorporeal circulation.
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.
