Does transtracheal resuscitation with an oxygen-carrying needle improve oxygen saturation in patients with refractory respiratory obstruction during anesthesia?
Transtracheal insertion of an oxygen-carrying needle is a viable emergency technique to restore oxygen saturation during refractory respiratory obstruction under anesthesia.
Jay Jacoby (1956) conducted a review in Respiratory obstruction during anesthesia. Transtracheal resuscitation (oxygen-carrying needle) was evaluated on Arterial blood oxygen saturation. Transtracheal resuscitation using an oxygen-carrying needle can reverse cyanosis and maintain normal arterial oxygen saturation for 30 minutes or more during emergency respiratory obstruction.
