Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange (THRIVE) and Laser Laryngeal Surgery

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Otorhinolaryngologic Surgical Procedures, Laser Therapy

In brief

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether laser laryngeal surgery can be safely and potentially more effectively performed without the use of tracheal intubation or jet ventilation, under completely tubeless conditions. The patient's gas exchange will be supported by rapid insufflation of high-flow oxygen through specialized nasal cannula: the so called Transnasal Humidified Rapid- Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange (THRIVE).
