Abstract
Airway surgery in pediatric patients is challenging with regard to balancing surgical exposure with ventilation requirements, as during the procedure the airway must be shared between laryngologist and anesthetist. For endoscopic laryngeal surgery, different methods of ventilation are used, among others jet ventilation via a specifically adapted suspension laryngoscope using a dual jet stream(Supraglottic Superimposed High Frequency Jet ventilation, SSHFJV) (1).High BMI and a history of pulmonary pathology proved to be factors contributing to failing of SSHFJV in adult patients (2). However, factors influencing the failure of SSHFJV in pediatric patients have never been described yet.
