High frequency jet ventilation in intensive care--a review of 63 patients.

High frequency jet ventilation has been used clinically in this unit for over 2 years. During this time we have treated 63 intensive care patients for whom the mean duration of ventilatory support was 3.4 days, which represents more than 5000 patient hours in total, with the Penlon Bromsgrove humidified jet ventilator. The series comprises a wide variety of general intensive care patients; a review of these cases is presented.

The method was used to relieve pain from ischaemic gangrene of the foot for 2 days before below-knee amputation and, combined with a continuous inguinal paravascular block, to provide regional anaesthesia both for the surgery and for the first 2 postoperative days.

Memory function testing revealed an impairment of the ability to retain new information following anaesthesia. This returned to normal within 3 hr.
