<scp>Multi?Institutional</scp> Analysis of Outcomes in Supraglottic Jet Ventilation with a <scp>Team?Based</scp> Approach

Objectives/Hypothesis To evaluate the safety and complications of endoscopic airway surgery using supraglottic jet ventilation with a team-based approach. Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods Subjects at two academic institutions diagnosed laryngotracheal stenosis who underwent between January 2008 December 2018 were identified. Patient characteristics (age, gender, race, follow-up duration) comorbidities extracted from electronic health record. Records reviewed for treatment approach, intraoperative data, (intraoperative, acute postoperative, delayed postoperative). Results Eight hundred ninety-four patient encounters 371 patients Intraoperative (unplanned tracheotomy, profound or severe hypoxic events, barotrauma, laryngospasm) occurred in fewer than 1% encounters. Acute postoperative (postoperative recovery unit [PACU] rapid response, PACU intubation, return to emergency department [ED] within 24 hours surgery) rare, occurring 3% Delayed (return ED admission respiratory complaints 30 days Diabetes mellitus, active smoking, history previous tracheotomy independently associated intraoperative, acute, complications. Conclusions Employing during demonstrates low rate provides safe successful surgery. Level Evidence 4 Laryngoscope, 131:2292–2297, 2021
