Jet ventilation in severe airway stenosis: how pressure and frequency shape airway pressure and ventilation.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundJet ventilation is widely used during rigid bronchoscopy, particularly in patients with airway narrowing, yet evidence guiding the selection of driving pressure and frequency in severely narrowed airways remains limited.
objectivesTo investigate how jet driving pressure and frequency interact with airway geometry to determine airway pressure, ventilation, and gas exchange during normal-frequency jet ventilation (NFJV) and high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) in normal and severely narrowed airways.
methodsJet ventilation was applied to a 3D printed adult airway model under two conditions: a normal airway and a severely narrowed airway simulating 90% fixed circumferential stenosis. Airway pressure, tidal volume, intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), inspiratory and expiratory flow rates, and oxygen concentration were measured.
resultsDriving pressure was the primary determinant of airway pressure, tidal volume, and inspiratory flow under both ventilation modes. Under NFJV, airway pressure increased more steeply with pressure in the normal airway, whereas under HFJV, increasing pressure led to progressive pressure accumulation in the narrowed airway, resulting in higher airway pressures at elevated settings. Intrinsic PEEP was consistently higher in the narrowed airway and was amplified by increasing pressure and frequency. Across both modes, tidal volume decreased with increasing frequency and exhibited attenuated pressure responsiveness. Although measured oxygen concentration was higher in the narrowed airway, expiratory flow was markedly reduced, indicating impaired expiratory clearance.
conclusionsSevere airway narrowing fundamentally alters the pressure-frequency-ventilation relationship during jet ventilation. In narrowed airways, escalation of driving pressure or frequency may increase pressure load and intrinsic PEEP without proportionally improving effective ventilation. Optimization should therefore prioritize adequate tidal volume, expiratory emptying, and CO
