Complications during jet ventilation for microlaryngoscopy, which is usually a relatively safe procedure, are rare. Those described have included hypoventilation, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, subcutaneous emphysema, 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.
