Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Pulmonology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Jet ventilation (JV) is a high-pressure technique used in laryngeal laser procedures.
  • Anesthetic management during JV poses challenges due to potential complications like subcutaneous emphysema and tension pneumothorax.

Observation:

  • A patient undergoing vocal cord polyp treatment with JV developed bilateral tension pneumothorax.
  • Intraoperative signs included absent chest movement and altered JV sounds.

Findings:

  • Bilateral tension pneumothorax was diagnosed and treated with immediate pleural decompression.
  • This intervention rapidly improved the patient's ventilatory and hemodynamic status.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the critical need for vigilance regarding tension pneumothorax during JV.
