Abstract
Complications during jet ventilation for microlaryngoscopy, which is u sually a relatively safe procedure, are rare. Those described have inc luded hypoventilation, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, subcutaneous e mphysema, pneumoperitoneum, and gastric distention. We describe herein a case of a life-threatening complication during jet ventilation with a Carden's tube that ended in laparotomy.
