Abstract

We thank Goode et al for their interest in our study. We would like to point out that although high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) is a safer ventilation technique than conventional hand jet ventilation (or low-frequency jet ventilation [LFJV]), different complications are specifically associated with HFJV.1,2 These complications include problems with humidification and warming, high gas flow rates, and rapid increases in lung volume that might cause lung injury through the generation of shear forces at the interface of compliant and atelectatic airways.
