High-frequency (HF) jet ventilation through transtracheal catheter has been used for the therapy of acute respiratory failure in 30 patients ith myocardial infarction complicated by pulmonary edema and cardiogenic shock. Gas exchange and central hemodynamics have been assessed, using a Swan-Ganz catheter fixed in the pulmonary artery. HF ventilation led to a decrease of hypoxemia, pulmonary blood shunting and to a moderate increase in the cardiac output.

Article Synopsis
  • Tracheostomy tubes increase the risk of respiratory infections, and initial treatment often involves nebulized tobramycin, but there’s a lack of standardized treatment guidelines.
  • A study used a breathing simulator to test how much tobramycin reaches simulated children with tracheostomies, comparing delivery methods and doses for different child weights.
  • Results showed that jet nebulizers delivered significantly more tobramycin than vibrating mesh nebulizers, highlighting the need for better dosing strategies and further research on drug delivery efficiency and higher dosages for this patient group.

Article Synopsis
  • A study tested the effectiveness of inhaled colistin in treating ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by resistant bacteria, using two types of nebulizers: a vibrating mesh nebulizer (VMN) and a jet nebulizer (JN).
  • Patients receiving intravenous (IV) colistin inhalation were randomly assigned to either nebulizer type and compared to a control group receiving IV only over a period of 7 to 10 days, with a focus on clinical improvement.
  • While VMN delivered a higher dose of colistin in lab tests, both nebulizers showed similar clinical outcomes in patients, showing significant benefits over the IV-only group.

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.
