Abstract

Rationale and Objective

Percutaneous thermal ablative technique is a common radiological procedure for malignant lesions treatment. Controlled assisted ventilation during general anesthesia is the usual mode of ventilation, but high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) can be a helpful alternative for the operator. The objective was to evaluate the safety of HFJV during thermal ablation procedures.

Materials and Methods

This monocentric prospective analysis included adult patients undergoing percutaneous thermal ablation procedures for abdominal tumor performed under HFJV. Procedures with a transpulmonary path were excluded. The primary outcome was the incidence of respiratory complications. Secondary outcomes included gas exchange modifications (hypercapnia, hypoxemia, pulmonary atelectasis) and the incidence of barotrauma.

Results

Sixty patients were included during the study period. The mean duration time was 88 min. All procedures went according to the protocol and there was no respiratory complication. There was no barotrauma event. Three patients had an exhaled capnia above 45 mmHg at the end of the procedure which normalized within 10 min of conventional ventilation.

Conclusion

HFJV during thermal ablation procedures is safe regarding gas exchange and barotrauma. This technique could be an interesting alternative to conventional ventilation during image-guided thermal ablation procedures.
