We have developed a new technique of combined high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV), characterized by simultaneous application of a low-frequency (LF) and a high-frequency (HF) jet stream. Tubeless supralaryngeal jet ventilation was delivered via a modified Kleinsasser laryngoscope. We studied 44 adults undergoing 45 elective surgical procedures of the larynx and trachea using a carbon dioxide laser during HFJV. Applied inspiratory oxygen ratios ranged from 0.4 to 1.0. Mean driving pressures of the HF and LF jet streams were 1.5 bar and 1.8 bar in adults, respectively. Mean duration of HFJV was 41 (range 10-180) min. HFJV resulted in mean PaO2 and PaCO2 values of 16.6 (range 9.8-26.9) kPa and 5.7 (3.0-7.6) kPa, respectively. Tubeless supralaryngeal HFJV was safe and effective in maintaining gas exchange in the presence of laryngeal or tracheal stenoses, providing optimal visibility of anatomical structures, offering maximum space for surgical manipulation, and avoiding the use of combustible material inside the larynx or trachea.

Introduction: Hypoxemia is a common complication of sedation. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of supraglottic jet oxygenation and ventilation (SJOV) in preventing hypoxemia during sedative procedures.
Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared SJOV with conventional oxygen therapy in sedated patients were searched in five databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure [CNKI], and Google Scholar) from their inception to March 2024.

Progress in superconducting device and detector technologies over the past decade has realized practical applications in quantum computers, detectors for far-infrared telescopes, and optical communications. Superconducting thin-film materials, however, have remained largely unchanged, with aluminum still being the material of choice for superconducting qubits and niobium compounds for high-frequency/high kinetic inductance devices. Magnesium diboride (MgB), known for its highest transition temperature ( = 39 K) among metallic superconductors, is a viable material for elevated temperature and higher frequency superconducting devices moving toward THz frequencies.
