A patient recently treated with surgery and radiation for oropharyngeal cancer presented with impending hypoxic respiratory and cardiac arrest in a difficult airway scenario. A CriCath cannula in combination with the Ventrain device and its active expiratory ventilation technology enabled oxygenation and ventilation for 60 minutes until a surgical airway was established. This case report is the first to describe the intended use of Ventrain technology in an emergent "can't ventilate-can't intubate" scenario.
一名近期接受口咽癌手术及放疗的患者,在困难气道情况下出现即将发生的缺氧性呼吸和心脏骤停。一根CriCath套管与Ventrain装置及其主动呼气通气技术相结合,实现了60分钟的氧合和通气,直至建立手术气道。本病例报告首次描述了Ventrain技术在紧急“无法通气-无法插管”情况下的预期用途。
