Comparison of high-frequency jet ventilation and spontaneous ventilation in ESWL procedures
This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.
A variety of anesthetic techniques can be used when performing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), although spontaneous ventilation with a laryngeal mask airway has become a common approach. High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) is thought to reduce stone movement and time and shock energy requirements, therefore decreasing exposure to X-rays and perinephric trauma. Cormack and colleagues retrospectively compared spontaneous ventilation with HFJV in patients who underwent ESWL.
