ResumoJET ventilation is a common method used during laryngeal or tracheobronchial surgery. Local tissue injury can result, however, from the high-pressure gas exiting the jet catheter, particularly if the tip of the catheter is misdirected from the laryngeal opening. Unfortunately, confirmation of proper catheter placement is somewhat inexact. This case report presents a complication of translaryngeal jet ventilation - acute gastric rupture-after inadvertent placement or migration of a metal tube catheter into the esophagus.
