AbstractA case is described in which upper airway obstruction was successfully treated using cri-cothyroidotomy in association with high frequency jet ventilation. This procedure allowed time for the patient to be transferred to the operating theatre for formal tracheostomy under optimal conditions. It is suggested that the Portex ‘Mini-trach’ kit, though primarily designed for tracheobronchial toilet, can be used to provide a satisfactory and safe airway during the resuscitation of an obstructed patient, particularly if jet ventilation is available.

Difficult airway is a challenging emergency problem for emergency physicians. We reported a patient with partial upper airway obstruction managed by percutaneous transtracheal jet ventilation (PTJV) before definite airway was secured. The development, the set up, the advantages, and the precautions of using PTJV are briefly described.
