| Summary: | A 22-month-old female infant with tracheal stenosis due to pulmonary artery sling is reported. HFJV was applied when ventilation become difficult during operation. The patient was transferred to the intensive care unit and then treated using HFJV postoper-atively. Oxygen toxicity and barotrauma following conventional artificial ventilation could be avoided by using HFJV. We concluded that HFJV is useful for perioperative respiratory management in infants with tracheal stenosis. |
