Lung ventilation through a thin transtracheal cannula may be attempted in patients with laryngeal stenosis or "cannot intubate, cannot ventilate" situations. It may be impossible to achieve sufficient ventilation if the lungs are spontaneously emptying only through the thin transtracheal cannula, which imposes high resistance to airflow, resulting in dangerous hyperinflation. Therefore, the authors describe the use of a manual respiration valve that serves as a bidirectional pump providing not only inflation but also active deflation of the lungs in case of emergency transtracheal lung ventilation.
