['High-frequency jet ventilation is a novel technique for providing mechanical ventilation in the out of operating room (OOR) setting. Case reports and a small series of patients have shown it to be useful in patients undergoing cardiac arrhythmia ablations, interventional radiology procedures, and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Recently, interest in the technique has grown tremendously as the ability to provide superior surgical conditions may lead to improved efficiency and less side-effects in a variety of procedures.', 'Atrial fibrillation ablation procedures, liver tumor ablations, and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy are all the procedures that benefit from minimal movement of the heart, liver, and kidney, respectively, during the procedure. Although randomized controlled trials are lacking, increasing data suggest that by maintaining the thoracic and abdominal structures relatively immobile throughout the respiratory cycle, the efficiency and safety of these procedures may be improved.'] Do the use of high-frequency jet ventilation for out of operating room anesthesia?
