We present a twenty-three-year-old obese female with a twenty-four-week gestation pregnancy, a left ureteral stone, and urosepsis. She was treated conservatively with intravenous antibiotics and an indwelling Double J Cook catheter until the postpartum period. This represents a satisfactory alternative to nephrostomy drainage or surgical or percutaneous stone removal during pregnancy.
High-frequency jet-ventilation (HFJV) is not widely used, mainly because of technical problems and difficulty to assess its efficiency. However, there is general agreement on following major indication: artificial ventilation in patients with oesotracheal fistula. In the case reported here, HFJV allowed efficient ventilatory support through an endotracheal tube with deflated cuff. Weaning was progressively obtained. Surgery and postoperative course were uneventful.
