High-Frequency Jet Ventilation under General Anesthesia Facilitates CT-Guided Lung Tumor Thermal Ablation Compared with Normal Respiration under Conscious Analgesic Sedation

HFJV under GA appears to reduce technical difficulty of CT-guided percutaneous applicator placement for lung tumor thermal ablations, with similar complication rates compared with treatment sessions performed with NR under CS. The technique is safe and may facilitate treatment of technically challenging tumors.
