Official Title: To Investigate Airway Oxygen Concentrations During Rigid Bronchoscopy Procedures Performed With High Frequency Jet Ventilation
Brief Summary:
Thermal ablation (use of treatment modalities that generate heat) has become a widely used tool for treatment of central airway obstruction (e.g.laser, electrocautery, radiofrequency, and argon plasma coagulation).However, this method carries with it an increased risk for airway fire - a surgical fire that occurs in a patient's airway and could also include a fire in the attached breathing circuit.To decrease the risk of airway fire during mechanical ventilation with an endotracheal tube, the concentration of…
