AB Percutaneous  transtracheal  jet  ventilation  (PTTJV)  provides  emergency  ventilatory  support  in  patients  who  cannot  be  adequately  ventilated  with  a  bag-valve-mask  device  using  oral  or  nasal  airways,  a  laryngeal  mask  airway  (LMA),  or  endotracheal  tube.1-3  This  includes  patients  with  upper  airway  foreign  bodies,  upper  airway  neoplasms,  maxillofacial  trauma,  laryngeal  edema,  or  infection.2,4  It  is  used  electively  with  general  anesthesia  for  surgery  involving  the  larynx  and  subglottic  areas.5  PTTJV  involves  inserting  a  catheter-over-the-needle  (i.e.,  angiocatheter)  through  the  cricothyroid  membrane  and  delivering  oxygen  to  the  lungs  using  a  high-pressure  oxygen  delivery  system.6
