Supraglottic jet oxygenation/ventilation (SJOV) can reduce hypoxemia in sedated endoscopy but may increase minor side effects like pharyngalgia and xerostomia. This study aimed to identify risk factors for pharyngalgia/xerostomia with SJOV during gastrointestinal endoscopy. From January 1 to December 31, 2021, 5313 patients with propofol sedation and SJOV underwent gastrointestinal endoscopy or removal of gastrointestinal polyps was analyzed retrospectively.

This study investigated the potential benefits of supraglottic jet oxygenation and ventilation (SJOV) using the Wei nasal jet tube (WNJ) in reducing hypoxaemia in patients undergoing bronchoscopy under moderate to deep intravenous sedation using a propofol, lidocaine and remifentanil cocktail.
Objectives: Our primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy and complications of SJOV via the WNJ during flexible bronchoscopy under moderate to heavy sedation with propofol and remifentanil.
The emergency difficult airway with the 'cannot intubate and cannot ventilate' (CICV) situation contributes to a high percentage of anesthesia- and emergency medicine-related morbidity and mortality. A new technique of supraglottic jet oxygenation and ventilation (SJOV) via the nasal approach was successfully used in an emergency to save a patient with a CICV difficult airway from a catastrophic outcome.
