Jet oxygenation
You are trying to achieve 2 things with jet oxygenation in the
CICO scenario:
1. Provide oxygen
2. Prevent/improve airway and alveolar collapse
Jet oxygenation
Providing oxygen
The ManujetTM
Set at 1.0 bar (i.e., Infant setting, in
the Yellow Zone) delivers inspiratory
flow of approx 250 mls/second
Rapid - O2 oxygen
cricothyroidotomy insufflation
device (nee Leroy)
Connected to piped O2 at 15L/min,
delivers inspiratory flow of approx
250 mls/second
Jet oxygenation in a 70kg male
Prevent/improve airway and alveolar collapse
Initial breath
4 seconds duration=approx 1000mL
 If there is no response or improvement in SpO2 after 30
seconds, a second jet of 2.0 seconds should be
administered.
 Whilst applying the first jet, signs of flow must be sought by
checking the chest for movement, and listening for flow.
Jet oxygenation in a 70kg male
Prevent/improve airway and alveolar collapse
Subsequent breaths
 Do not jet again until the SpO2 have dropped by 5% from
the maximum achieved with the initial jet.
 Subsequent jets should be of 2 seconds duration (Approx
500 mls)
Jet oxygenation
IF jetting with the manujet, and there are no signs
of expiratory flow
THEN disconnect the manujet to allow some expiration
through the cannula (taking care to not inadvertently remove
the cannula). This is to ensure hyperinflation causing reduced
venous return does not occur.
The Leroy and ENK allow expiration through the cannula and
do not require disconnection.
Jet oxygenation
IF there is no saturation reading for whatever
reason
THEN it is safe to insufflate 500 mls every 30 seconds if using
a 14g cannnula and Rapid - O2 (Leroy) / ENK (Or
disconnected Manujet) even in complete upper airway
obstruction.
Jet oxygenation
 After connecting the cannula to the jet oxygenation device,
never let go of the cannula.
 Only jet oxygenate whilst watching the chest rise and fall
 The rate-limiting step for the frequency of safe jet
oxygenation is the patency of the expiratory pathway.

TRANSITION
‘Transition’ protocol - CICO
Is this a CICO situation?
NO
Best attempt at:
• Face-mask ventilation?
• LMA ventilation?
• Endotracheal intubation? AND
Oxygen saturations falling or persistently
low?
YES
