Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoxygenation is universally recommended before induction of general anaesthesia to prolong safe apnoea time. The optimal technique for preoxygenation is unclear. We conducted a systematic review to determine the preoxygenation technique associated with the greatest effectiveness in adult patients having general anaesthesia. METHODS We searched six databases for randomised controlled trials of patients aged ≥16 yr, receiving general anaesthesia in any setting and comparing different preoxygenation techniques and methods. Our primary effectiveness outcome was safe apnoea time, and secondary outcomes included incidence of arterial oxygen desaturation; lowest SpO2 during airway management; time to end-tidal oxygen concentration of 90%; and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] at the end of preoxygenation. We assessed the quality of evidence according to Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) recommendations. RESULTS We included 52 studies of 3914 patients. High-flow nasal oxygen with patients in a head-up position was most likely to be associated with a prolonged safe apnoea time when compared with other strategies, with a mean difference (95% credible interval) of 291 (138-456) s and 203 (79-343) s compared with preoxygenation with a facemask in the supine and head-up positions, respectively. Subgroup analysis of studies without apnoeic oxygenation also showed high-flow nasal oxygen in the head-up position as the highest ranked technique, with a statistically significantly delayed mean difference (95% credible interval) safe apnoea time compared with facemask in supine and head-up positions of 222 (63-378) s and 139 (15-262) s, respectively. High-flow nasal oxygen was also the highest ranked technique for increased [Formula: see text] at the end of preoxygenation. However, the incidence of arterial desaturation was less likely to occur when a facemask with pressure support was used compared with other techniques, and [Formula: see text] was most likely to be lowest when preoxygenation took place with patients deep breathing in a supine position. CONCLUSIONS Preoxygenation of adults before induction of general anaesthesia was most effective in terms of safe apnoea time when performed with high-flow nasal oxygen with patients in the head-up position in comparison with facemask alone. Also, high-flow nasal oxygen in the head-up position is likely to be the most effective technique to prolong safe apnoea time among those evaluated. Clinicians should consider this technique and patient position in routine practice. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW PROTOCOL PROSPERO CRD42022326046.

Abstract
High-flow nasal oxygen can be administered at induction of anaesthesia for the purposes of pre-oxygenation and apnoeic oxygenation. This intervention is claimed to enhance carbon dioxide elimination during apnoea, but the extent to which this occurs remains poorly quantified. The optimal nasal oxygen flow rate for gas exchange is also unknown. In this study, 114 patients received pre-oxygenation with high-flow nasal oxygen at 50 l.min-1. At the onset of apnoea, patients were allocated randomly to receive one of three nasal oxygen flow rates: 0 l.min-1; 70 l.min-1; or 120 l.min-1. After 4 minutes of apnoea, all oxygen delivery was ceased, tracheal intubation was performed, and oxygen delivery was recommenced when SpO2 was 92%. Mean (SD) PaCO2 rise during the first minute of apnoea was 1.39 (0.39) kPa, 1.41 (0.29) kPa, and 1.26 (0.38) kPa in the 0 l.min-1, 70 l.min-1 and 120 l.min-1 groups, respectively; p = 0.16. During the second, third and fourth minutes of apnoea, mean (SD) rates of rise in PaCO2 were 0.34 (0.08) kPa.min-1, 0.36 (0.06) kPa.min-1 and 0.37 (0.07) kPa.min-1 in the 0 l.min-1, 70 l.min-1 and 120 l.min-1 groups, respectively; p = 0.17. After 4 minutes of apnoea, median (IQR [range]) arterial oxygen partial pressures in the 0 l.min-1, 70 l.min-1 and 120 l.min-1 groups were 24.5 (18.6-31.4 [12.3-48.3]) kPa; 36.6 (28.1-43.8 [9.8-56.9]) kPa; and 37.6 (26.5-45.4 [11.0-56.6]) kPa, respectively; p < 0.001. Median (IQR [range]) times to desaturate to 92% after the onset of apnoea in the 0 l.min-1, 70 l.min-1 and 120 l.min-1 groups, were 412 (347-509 [190-796]) s; 533 (467-641 [192-958]) s; and 531 (462-681 [326-1007]) s, respectively; p < 0.001. In conclusion, the rate of carbon dioxide accumulation in arterial blood did not differ significantly between apnoeic patients who received high-flow nasal oxygen and those who did not.

Pre-oxygenation with high-flow oxygen through the nasopharyngeal airway compared to facemask on carbon dioxide clearance in emergency adults: a prospective randomized non-blinded clinical trial. Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg 2024; 50:1051-1061.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Before tracheal intubation, it is essential to provide sufficient oxygen reserve for emergency patients with full stomachs. Recent studies have demonstrated that high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) effectively pre-oxygenates and prolongs apneic oxygenation during tracheal intubation. Despite its effectiveness, the use of HFNO remains controversial due to concerns regarding carbon dioxide clearance. The air leakage and unknown upper airway obstruction during HFNO therapy cause reduced oxygen flow above the vocal cords, possibly weaken the carbon dioxide clearance. METHODS Patients requiring emergency surgery who had fasted < 8 h and not drunk < 2 h were randomly assigned to the high-flow group, who received 100% oxygen at 30-60 L/min through nasopharyngeal airway (NPA), or the mask group, who received 100% oxygen at 8 L/min. PaO2 and PaCO2 were measured immediately before pre-oxygenation (T0), anesthesia induction (T1), tracheal intubation (T2), and mechanical ventilation (T3). The gastric antrum's cross-sectional area (CSA) was measured using ultrasound technology at T0, T1, and T3. Details of complications, including hypoxemia, reflux, nasopharyngeal bleeding, postoperative pulmonary infection, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), and postoperative nasopharyngeal pain, were recorded. The primary outcomes were PaCO2 measured at T1, T2, and T3. The secondary outcomes included PaO2 at T1, T2, and T3, CSA at T1 and T3, and complications happened during this trial. RESULTS Pre-oxygenation was administered by high-flow oxygen through NPA (n = 58) or facemask (n = 57) to 115 patients. The mean (SD) PaCO2 was 32.3 (6.7) mmHg in the high-flow group and 34.6 (5.2) mmHg in the mask group (P = 0.045) at T1, 45.0 (5.5) mmHg and 49.4 (4.6) mmHg (P < 0.001) at T2, and 47.9 (5.1) mmHg and 52.9 (4.6) mmHg (P < 0.001) at T3, respectively. The median ([IQR] [range]) PaO2 in the high-flow and mask groups was 404.5 (329.1-458.1 [159.8-552.9]) mmHg and 358.9 (274.0-413.3 [129.0-539.1]) mmHg (P = 0.007) at T1, 343.0 (251.6-428.7 [73.9-522.1]) mmHg and 258.3 (162.5-347.5 [56.0-481.0]) mmHg (P < 0.001) at T2, and 333.5 (229.9-411.4 [60.5-492.4]) mmHg and 149.8 (87.0-246.6 [51.2-447.5]) mmHg (P < 0.001) at T3, respectively. The CSA in the high-flow and mask groups was 371.9 (287.4-557.9 [129.0-991.2]) mm2 and 386.8 (292.0-537.3 [88.3-1651.7]) mm2 at T1 (P = 0.920) and 452.6 (343.7-618.4 [161.6-988.1]) mm2 and 385.6 (306.3-562.0 [105.5-922.9]) mm2 at T3 (P = 0.173), respectively. The number (proportion) of complications in the high-flow and mask groups is shown below: hypoxemia: 1 (1.7%) vs. 9 (15.8%, P = 0.019); reflux: 0 (0%) vs. 0 (0%); nasopharyngeal bleeding: 1 (1.7%) vs. 0 (0%, P = 1.000); pulmonary infection: 4 (6.9%) vs. 3 (5.3%, P = 1.000); PONV: 4 (6.9%) vs. 4 (7.0%, P = 1.000), and nasopharyngeal pain: 0 (0%) vs. 0 (0%). CONCLUSIONS Compared to facemasks, pre-oxygenation with high-flow oxygen through NPA offers improved carbon dioxide clearance and enhanced oxygenation prior to tracheal intubation in patients undergoing emergency surgery, while the risk of gastric inflation had not been ruled out.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoxygenation before anaesthesia induction is routinely performed via a tight-fitting facemask or humidified high-flow nasal oxygen. We hypothesised that effective preoxygenation, assessed by end-tidal oxygen (EtO 2 ) levels, can also be performed via a standard nasal cannula. OBJECTIVE This study compared the efficacy of preoxygenation between a traditional facemask, humidified high-flow nasal oxygen and a standard nasal cannula. DESIGN A volunteer, randomised, crossover study. SETTING Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm. The study was conducted between 2 May and 31 May 2023. PARTICIPANTS Twenty cardiopulmonary healthy volunteers aged 25-65 years with a BMI <30. INTERVENTIONS Preoxygenation using a traditional facemask, humidified high-flow nasal oxygen and standard nasal cannula. Volunteers were preoxygenated with all three methods, at various flow rates (10-50 l min -1 ), with open and closed mouths and during vital capacity manoeuvres. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The study's primary outcome compared the efficacy after 3 min of preoxygenation, assessed by EtO 2 levels, between the three methods and various flow rates of preoxygenation. RESULTS Three methods generated higher EtO 2 levels than others: (i) facemask preoxygenation using normal breathing, (ii) humidified high-flow nasal oxygen, closed-mouth breathing, at 50 l min -1 and (iii) standard nasal cannula, closed-mouth breathing, at 50 l min -1 , and expressed as means (SD): 90% (3), 90% (6) and 88% (5), respectively. Preoxygenation efficacy was greater via the bi-nasal cannulae using closed vs. open mouth breathing as well as with 3 min of normal breathing vs. eight vital capacity breaths. Preoxygenation with a facemask and humidified high-flow nasal oxygen was more comfortable than a standard nasal cannula. CONCLUSION The efficacy of preoxygenation using a standard nasal cannula at high flow rates is no different to clinically used methods today. The standard nasal cannula provides less comfort but is highly effective and could be an option when alternative methods are unavailable. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT05839665.

Abstract
Transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilator exchange (THRIVE) has been reported to have better efficacy during anesthesia induction compared to conventional mask ventilation, including improved oxygenation and prolonged safe apnea time. This study reports on the effectiveness of the THRIVE system during modified electroconvulsive therapy (mECT) for a patient experiencing severe hypoxia. A 78-year-old female patient with bipolar disorder received maintenance mECT every four weeks. She previously experienced a significant hypoxic event, with oxygen saturation (SpO2) dropping to 50% following electrical stimulation. In response, we employed the THRIVE system, designed to deliver high-flow, 100% oxygen, thereby extending apnea tolerance. The implementation of THRIVE ensured a stable oxygen supply, maintaining oxygen saturation levels above 95% throughout the mECT procedure. THRIVE is useful for treating hypoxia that occurs due to the unavoidable lack of ventilation during mECT.

Abstract
High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) therapy is extensively used in critical care units for spontaneously breathing patients. Trans-nasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) is a method of apnoeic oxygenation with continuous nasal delivery of warmed, humidified oxygen at high-flow rates up to 70L/min. THRIVE extends the apnoeic window before desaturation occurs so that tubeless anaesthesia is possible. The advent of THRIVE has had a monumental impact on anaesthetic practice, with a diverse range of clinical applications and it has been incorporated into difficult airway guidelines. THRIVE has many applications in otolaryngology and head and neck surgery. It is used as a pre-oxygenation tool during induction in both anticipated and unanticipated difficult airway scenarios and as a method of oxygenation for tubeless anaesthesia in elective laryngotracheal and hypopharyngeal surgeries and during emergence from anaesthesia. In this scoping review of the literature, we aim to provide an overview on the utility of THRIVE in otolaryngology, including the underlying physiologic principles, current indications and limitations, and its feasibility and safety in different surgical contexts and specific population groups.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION With the growing emphasis on swift recovery, minimally invasive thoracic surgery has advanced significantly. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has seen rapid development, and the double-lumen tube (DLT) remains the most dependable method for tracheal intubation in VATS. However, hypoxaemia during DLT intubation poses a threat to the perioperative safety of thoracic surgery patients. Recently, transnasal high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) has shown promise in anaesthesia, particularly in handling short-duration hypoxic airway emergencies. Yet, its application in the perioperative period for patients undergoing pulmonary surgery with compromised cardiopulmonary function lacks evidence, and there are limited reliable clinical data. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A prospective, randomised, controlled, single-blind design will be employed in this study. 112 patients aged 18-60 years undergoing elective VATS-assisted pulmonary surgery will be enrolled and randomly divided into two groups: the nasal high-flow oxygen group (H group) and the traditional mask transnasal oxygen group (M group) in a 1:1 ratio. HFNO will be used during DLT intubation for the prevention of asphyxia in group H, while conventional intubation procedures will be followed by group M. Comparison will be made between the two groups in terms of minimum oxygen saturation during intubation, hypoxaemia incidence during intubation, perioperative complications and postoperative hospital days. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Approval for this study has been granted by the local ethics committee at Shenzhen Second People's Hospital. The trial results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05666908.

Abstract
Background There is limited knowledge about the effect of liberal intraoperative oxygen on non-infectious complications and overall recovery from surgery. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, we investigated associations between mean intraoperative fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), and outcome in adults undergoing elective surgery lasting more than 2 h at a large metropolitan New Zealand hospital from 2012 to 2020. Patients were divided into low, medium, and high oxygen groups (FiO2 ≤ 0.4, 0.41-0.59, ≥0.6). The primary outcome was days alive and out of hospital at 90 days (DAOH90). The secondary outcomes were post-operative complications and admission to the ICU. Results We identified 15,449 patients who met the inclusion criteria. There was no association between FiO2 and DAOH90 when high FiO2 was analysed according to three groups. Using high FiO2 as the reference group there was an adjusted mean (95% confidence interval [CI]) difference of 0.09 (-0.06 to 0.25) days (P = 0.25) and 0.28 (-0.05 to 0.62) days (P = 0.2) in the intermediate and low oxygen groups, respectively. Low FiO2 was associated with increased surgical site infection: the adjusted odds ratio (OR) for low compared with high FiO2 was 1.53 (95% CI 1.12-2.10). Increasing FiO2 was associated with respiratory complications: the adjusted OR associated with each 10% point increase in FiO2 was 1.17 (95% CI 1.08-1.26) and the incidence of being admitted to an ICU had an adjusted OR of 1.1 (95% CI 1.03-1.18). Conclusions We found potential benefits, and risks, associated with liberal intraoperative oxygen administration indicating that randomised controlled trials are warranted.

Acute Crit Care 2024; 39:61-69. [PMID: 38303582 PMCID: PMC11002622 DOI: 10.4266/acc.2022.01543] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although preoxygenation is an essential procedure for safe endotracheal intubation, in some cases securing sufficient time for tracheal intubation may not be possible. Patients with head and neck cancer might have a difficult airway and need a longer time for endotracheal intubation. We hypothesized that the extended apneic period with preoxygenation via a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is beneficial to patients who undergo head and neck surgery compared with preoxygenation with a simple mask. METHODS The study was conducted as a single-center, single-blinded, prospective, randomized controlled trial. Patients were divided into groups based on one of the two preoxygenation. METHODS HFNC group or simple facemask (mask group). Preoxygenation was performed for 5 minutes with each method, and endotracheal intubation for all patients was performed using a video laryngoscope. Oxygen partial pressures of the arterial blood were compared at the predefined time points. RESULTS For the primary outcome, the mean arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2 ) immediately after intubation was 454.2 mm Hg (95% confidence interval [CI], 416.9-491.5 mm Hg) in the HFNC group and 370.7 mm Hg (95% CI, 333.7-407.4 mm Hg) in the mask group (P=0.002). The peak PaO2 at 5 minutes after preoxygenation was not statistically different between the groups (P=0.355). CONCLUSIONS Preoxygenation with a HFNC extending to the apneic period before endotracheal intubation may be beneficial in patients with head and neck cancer.

Abstract
Tubeless anaesthesia has become widespread in videothoracoscopic surgery, even in major procedures such as lobectomies. There are several advantages in avoiding general anaesthesia and one-lung mechanical ventilation, such as faster recovery and shorter hospital stays. However, hypoxaemia and hypercapnia are the most reported causes of conversion to general anaesthesia. High Flow Oxygen Therapy (HFOT) generates flow-dependent positive end-expiratory pressure, improves oxygenation and also carbon dioxide washout by flow-dependent dead space flushing. For this reason, intraoperative HFOT may reduce the rate of conversion to general anaesthesia. We report our experience with intraoperative HFOT in a 71-year-old female with lung adenocarcinoma undergoing VATS upper left lobectomy.

Abstract
Precise manipulation of flexible surgical tools is crucial in minimally invasive surgical procedures, necessitating a miniature and flexible robotic probe that can precisely direct the surgical instruments. In this work, we developed a polymer-based robotic fiber with a thermal actuation mechanism by local heating along the sides of a single fiber. The fiber robot was fabricated by highly scalable fiber drawing technology using common low-cost materials. This low-profile (below 2 millimeters in diameter) robotic fiber exhibits remarkable motion precision (below 50 micrometers) and repeatability. We developed control algorithms coupling the robot with endoscopic instruments, demonstrating high-resolution in situ molecular and morphological tissue mapping. We assess its practicality and safety during in vivo laparoscopic surgery on a porcine model. High-precision motion of the fiber robot delivered endoscopically facilitates the effective use of cellular-level intraoperative tissue identification and ablation technologies, potentially enabling precise removal of cancer in challenging surgical sites.

Personalized Noninvasive Respiratory Support in the Perioperative Setting: State of the Art and Future Perspectives. J Pers Med 2023; 14:56.

Abstract
Background: Noninvasive respiratory support (NRS), including high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNOT), noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), are routinely used in the perioperative period. Objectives: This narrative review provides an overview on the perioperative use of NRS. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative respiratory support is discussed, along with potential future areas of research. Results: During induction of anesthesia, in selected patients at high risk of difficult intubation, NIV is associated with improved gas exchange and reduced risk of postoperative respiratory complications. HFNOT demonstrated an improvement in oxygenation. Evidence on the intraoperative use of NRS is limited. Compared with conventional oxygenation, HFNOT is associated with a reduced risk of hypoxemia during procedural sedation, and recent data indicate a possible role for HFNOT for intraoperative apneic oxygenation in specific surgical contexts. After extubation, "preemptive" NIV and HFNOT in unselected cohorts do not affect clinical outcome. Postoperative "curative" NIV in high-risk patients and among those exhibiting signs of respiratory failure can reduce reintubation rate, especially after abdominal surgery. Data on postoperative "curative" HFNOT are limited. Conclusions: There is increasing evidence on the perioperative use of NRS. Use of NRS should be tailored based on the patient's specific characteristics and type of surgery, aimed at a personalized cost-effective approach.

Abstract
'Apnoeic oxygenation' describes the diffusion of oxygen across the alveolar-capillary interface in the absence of tidal respiration. Apnoeic oxygenation requires a patent airway, the diffusion of oxygen to the alveoli, and cardiopulmonary circulation. Apnoeic oxygenation has varied applications in adult medicine including facilitating tubeless anaesthesia or improving oxygenation when a difficult airway is known or anticipated. In the paediatric population, apnoeic oxygenation prolongs the time to oxygen desaturation, facilitating intubation. This application has gained attention in neonatal intensive care where intubation remains a challenging procedure. Difficulties are related to the infant's size and decreased respiratory reserve. In addition, policy changes have led to limited opportunities for operators to gain proficiency. Until recently, evidence of benefit of apnoeic oxygenation in the neonatal population came from a small number of infants recruited to paediatric studies. Evidence specific to neonates is emerging and suggests apnoeic oxygenation may increase intubation success and limit physiological instability during the procedure. The best way to deliver oxygen to facilitate apnoeic oxygenation remains an important question.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This review will investigate the effectiveness of high-flow nasal oxygen in apneic oxygenation through safe apnea time and other ventilation parameters in patients at high risk of oxygen desaturation during induction and tracheal intubation for anesthesia management. INTRODUCTION High-risk surgical patient groups include obese patients, those with suspected or known obstructive sleep apnea, and critically ill patients, who are at risk of rapid oxygen desaturation during intubation. Conventional oxygen administration in induction and intubation of patients undergoing general anesthesia include nasal cannulas, simple face masks, Venturi, buccal oxygenation, bag-valve mask ventilation, and non-invasive ventilation. High-flow nasal oxygen has emerged as a novel technique, and is advantageous because it increases positive end-expiratory pressure and oxygen delivered. INCLUSION CRITERIA Eligible studies will include high-risk surgical patients aged 18 or above requiring endotracheal intubation in both emergency and elective anesthetic settings. High-risk patients are defined as those with suspected or known obstructive sleep apnea, obesity (BMI > 35), or critically ill patients (scored the American Society of Anesthesiologists classification as 3 or above). METHODS The review will follow the JBI methodology for systematic reviews of effectiveness. Databases to be searched include MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus. Reference lists of selected studies will then be hand-searched for additional eligible studies. The primary outcome will be safe apnea time, with secondary outcomes including oxygen and carbon dioxide parameters, and adverse events (eg, gastric distension). Studies will, where possible, be pooled in statistical meta-analyses with data heterogeneity assessed using the standard χ2 and I2 tests. REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO CRD42022312145.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Apnoeic oxygenation is the delivery of oxygen during the apnoeic phase preceding intubation. It is used to prevent respiratory complications of endotracheal intubation that have the potential to lead to significant adverse events including dysrhythmia, haemodynamic decompensation, hypoxic brain injury and death. Oxygen delivered by nasal cannulae during the apnoeic phase of intubation (apnoeic oxygenation) may serve as a non-invasive adjunct to endotracheal intubation to decrease the incidence of hypoxaemia, morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the benefits and harms of apnoeic oxygenation before intubation in adults in the prehospital, emergency department, intensive care unit and operating theatre environments compared to no apnoeic oxygenation during intubation. SEARCH METHODS We used standard, extensive Cochrane search methods. The latest search date was 4 November 2022. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs that compared the use of any form of apnoeic oxygenation including high flow and low flow nasal cannulae versus no apnoeic oxygenation during intubation. We defined quasi-randomization as participant allocation to each arm by means that were not truly random, such as alternation, case record number or date of birth. We excluded comparative prospective cohort and comparative retrospective cohort studies, physiological modelling studies and case reports. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We used standard Cochrane methods. Our primary outcomes were 1. hospital stay and 2. incidence of severe hypoxaemia. Our secondary outcomes were 3. incidence of hypoxaemia, 4. lowest recorded saturation of pulse oximetry (SpO2), 5. intensive care unit (ICU) stay, 6. first pass success rate, 7. adverse events and 8. MORTALITY We used GRADE to assess certainty of evidence. MAIN RESULTS We included 23 RCTs (2264 participants) in our analyses. Eight studies (729 participants) investigated the use of low-flow (15 L/minute or less), and 15 studies (1535 participants) investigated the use of high-flow (greater than 15 L/minute) oxygen. Settings were varied and included the emergency department (2 studies, 327 participants), ICU (7 studies, 913 participants) and operating theatre (14 studies, 1024 participants). We considered two studies to be at low risk of bias across all domains. None of the studies reported on hospital length of stay. In predominately critically ill people, there may be little to no difference in the incidence of severe hypoxaemia (SpO2 less than 80%) when using apnoeic oxygenation at any flow rate from the start of apnoea until successful intubation (risk ratio (RR) 0.86, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.66 to 1.11; P = 0.25, I² = 0%; 15 studies, 1802 participants; low-certainty evidence). There was insufficient evidence of any effect on the incidence of hypoxaemia (SpO2 less than 93%) (RR 0.58, 95% CI 0.23 to 1.46; P = 0.25, I² = 36%; 3 studies, 489 participants; low-certainty evidence). There may be an improvement in the lowest recorded oxygen saturation, with a mean increase of 1.9% (95% CI 0.75% to 3.05%; P < 0.001, I² = 86%; 15 studies, 1525 participants; low-certainty evidence). There may be a reduction in the duration of ICU stay with the use of apnoeic oxygenation during intubation (mean difference (MD) ‒1.13 days, 95% CI ‒1.51 to ‒0.74; P < 0.0001, I² = 46%; 5 studies, 815 participants; low-certainty evidence). There may be little to no difference in first pass success rate (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.93 to 1.08; P = 0.79, I² = 0%; 8 studies, 826 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). There may be little to no difference in incidence of adverse events including oral trauma, arrhythmia, aspiration, hypotension, pneumonia and cardiac arrest when apnoeic oxygenation is used. There was insufficient evidence about any effect on mortality (RR 0.84, 95% CI 0.70 to 1.00; P = 0.06, I² = 0%; 6 studies, 1015 participants; low-certainty evidence). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There was some evidence that oxygenation during the apnoeic phase of intubation may improve the lowest recorded oxygen saturation. However, the differences in oxygen saturation were unlikely to be clinically significant. This did not translate into any measurable effect on the incidence of hypoxaemia or severe hypoxaemia in a group of predominately critically ill people. We were unable to assess the influence on hospital length of stay; however, there was a reduction in ICU stay in the apnoeic oxygenation group. The mechanism for this is unclear as there was little to no difference in first pass success or adverse event rates.

Abstract
Background and Aims Apnoeic oxygenation, although useful during elective intubations, has not shown consistent beneficial results during emergency intubations in critically ill patients. We aimed to study the effectiveness of adding apnoeic oxygenation to our routine practice of using facemask alone, in emergency laparotomy patients needing rapid sequence induction (RSI), for sustaining partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2). Material and Methods Seventy-two patients undergoing RSI for emergency laparotomy were randomly allocated to either receive pre-oxygenation with 5 L/min of oxygen (O2) with a facemask (Group-FM) or apnoeic oxygenation with 10 L/min of O2 through a nasal catheter in addition to pre-oxygenation (Group-NC). Apnoea (90 s) was allowed from the removal of the facemask before the resumption of ventilation. Arterial blood gas analysis was done at the baseline, following pre-oxygenation and after 90 s of apnoea to study the PaO2 and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2). The circuit O2 concentrations (fraction of inspired [FiO2] and end-tidal [EtO2]) were also noted to ensure a steady state of O2 uptake was reached. Results The circuit O2 concentrations were 90 ± 4% in group FM and 93 ± 5% in Group-NC. The FiO2-EtO2 difference was 4% in both groups. During the 90 s apnoea following pre-oxygenation, there was a fall in the PaO2 by 38% in Group-FM and 12% in Group-NC (P = 0.000). Increase in PaCO2 was similar in both groups (Group-FM: 44 [range: 32-55] mmHg; Group-NC: 42 [range: 33-54] mmHg, P = 0.809). Conclusion Apnoeic insufflation of O2 using a nasopharyngeal catheter along with facemask oxygenation is more effective in sustaining PaO2 for 90 s during RSI than facemask-only oxygenation in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nasal high flow (nHF) improves the likelihood of successful neonatal intubation on the first attempt without physiological instability. The effect of nHF on cerebral oxygenation is unknown. The aim of this study was to compare cerebral oxygenation during endotracheal intubation in neonates receiving nHF and those receiving standard care. METHODS A sub-study of a multicentre randomized trial of nHF during neonatal endotracheal intubation. A subset of infants had near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring. Eligible infants were randomly assigned to nHF or standard care during the first intubation attempt. NIRS sensors provided continuous regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) monitoring. The procedure was video recorded, and peripheral oxygen saturation and rScO2 data were extracted at 2-second intervals. The primary outcome was the average difference in rScO2 from baseline during the first intubation attempt. Secondary outcomes included average rScO2 and rate of change of rScO2. RESULTS Nineteen intubations were analyzed (11 nHF; 8 standard care). Median (interquartile range [IQR]) postmenstrual age was 27 (26.5-29) weeks, and weight was 828 (716-1,135) g. Median change in rScO2 from baseline was -1.5% (-5.3 to 0.0) in the nHF group and -9.4% (-19.6 to -4.5) in the standard care group. rScO2 fell more slowly in infants managed with nHF compared with standard care: median (IQR) rScO2 change -0.08 (-0.13 to 0.00) % per second and -0.36 (-0.66 to -0.22) % per second, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In this small sub-study, regional cerebral oxygen saturation was more stable in neonates who received nHF during intubation compared with standard care.

[PMID: 37167798 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2023.111126] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 04/16/2023] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Investigate a low-cost, nasopharyngeal apnoeic oxygenation technique, establish its efficacy, and compare it to preoxygenation only in an obese population. The study's hypothesis was that nasopharyngeal apnoeic oxygenation at 18 l.min-1 would significantly prolong safe apnoea time compared to preoxygenation alone. DESIGN Randomised controlled study. SETTING Theatre complex of a resource constrained hospital. PATIENTS 30 adult, obese (BMI ≥ 35 kg.m-2) patients presenting for elective surgery. Patients with limiting cardio-respiratory disease, suspected difficult airway, risk of aspiration, and that were pregnant, were excluded. Patients were allocated by block randomisation in a 1:2 ratio to a preoxygenation-only (No-AO) and an intervention group (NPA-O2). INTERVENTIONS All patients were preoxygenated to an Et-O2 > 80%, followed by a standardised induction. The intervention group received oxygen at 18 l.min-1 via the nasopharyngeal catheter intervention. The desaturation process was documented until an SpO2 of 92% or 600 s was reached. MEASUREMENTS Baseline demographic and clinical characteristics were collected. The primary outcome was safe apnoea time, defined as the time taken to desaturate to an SpO2 of 92%. Secondary outcomes were rate of carbon dioxide accumulation and factors affecting the risk of desaturation. MAIN RESULTS The study was conducted in a morbidly obese population (NoAO = 41,1 kg.m-2; NPA-O2 = 42,5 kg.m-2). The risk of desaturation was signifantly lower in the intervention group (Hazzard Ratio = 0,072, 95% CI[0,019-0,283]) (Log-Rank test, p < 0.001). The median safe apnoea time was significantly longer in the intervention group (NoAO = 262 s [IQR 190-316]; NPA-O2 = 600 s [IQR 600-600]) (Mann-Whitney-U test, p < 0.001). The mean rate of CO2 accumalation was significantly slower in the intervention group (NoAO = 0,47 ± 0,14 kPa.min-1; NPA-O2 = 0,3 ± 0,09 kPa.min-1) (t-test, p = 0.003). There were no statistically significant risk factors associated with an increased risk of desaturation found. CONCLUSIONS Nasopharyngeal apnoeic oxygenation at 18 l/min prolongs safe apnoea time, compared to preoxygenation alone, and reduces the risk of desaturation in morbidly obese patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-flow nasal oxygenation and the oxygen reserve index (ORI), which is a non-invasive and innovative modality that reflects the arterial oxygen content, are used in general anaesthesia. This study compares the preoxygenation efficiency (measured by the ORI) of high-flow nasal oxygenation and facemask ventilation during the induction process. METHODS This single-centre, two-group, randomised controlled trial included 197 patients aged ≥ 20 years who underwent orotracheal intubation for general anaesthesia for elective surgery. The patients were randomly allocated to receive preoxygenation via facemask ventilation or high-flow nasal oxygenation. The ORI was measured and compared between both groups. RESULTS The ORI increased during preoxygenation in all patients. At 1 min of preoxygenation, the ORI was significantly higher in the high-flow nasal oxygenation group (0.34 ± 0.33) than in the facemask ventilation group (0.21 ± 0.28; P = 0.003). The highest ORI was not significantly different between the two groups (0.68 ± 0.25 in the high-flow nasal oxygenation group vs. 0.70 ± 0.28 in the facemask ventilation group; P = 0.505). CONCLUSIONS High-flow nasal oxygenation results in an oxygenation status similar to that provided by facemask ventilation during the induction process of general anaesthesia; therefore, high-flow nasal oxygenation is a feasible preoxygenation method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obese patients desaturate rapidly during the apneic period after induction of anesthesia for elective surgery. Administration of oxygen using high-flow nasal cannulae (HFNCs) may prevent desaturation in nonobese patients compared to facemask (FM) preoxygenation. The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the effectiveness of HFNC to FM preoxygenation techniques in reducing preintubation desaturation in obese patients undergoing elective surgery. METHODS This study protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022309391). Adult studies that compared HFNC and FM preoxygenation in obese patients requiring general anesthesia for elective surgery were included. The primary outcome was desaturation resulting in oxygen saturation of <92% from induction of anesthesia until intubation. Secondary outcomes included the lowest arterial oxygen content before intubation expressed in mm Hg, safe apnea time expressed in seconds, the lowest oxygen saturation before intubation expressed as a percentage, patient-reported discomfort, the need for rescue ventilation, and the incidence of aspiration of gastric contents during intubation. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration tool. Certainty was assessed following the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. RESULTS Six studies including 351 participants were eligible for analysis. There was no difference in odds of oxygen desaturation <92% between HFNC and FM (odds ratio [OR], 0.49; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.15-1.63; P = .24). The HFNC group had a significantly longer safe apnea time (mean difference [MD], -124.20 with 95% CI, -200.47 to -47.93; P = .001). There was no difference between HFNC and FM in the lowest arterial oxygen content (MD, -23.90; 95% CI, -88.64 to 40.85; P = .47) and the lowest peripheral oxygenation saturation (MD, -0.47 with 95% CI, -5.07 to 4.12; P = .84). HFNC had a lower odd of discomfort than FM (OR, 0.13; 95% CI, 0.03-0.52; P = .004). There was no difference in the odds of aspiration of gastric contents between HFNC and FM (OR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.01-8.21; P = .50). The risk of bias for our primary and secondary outcomes was low. The GRADE assessment for our primary outcome indicated a low level of certainty. For secondary outcomes, the GRADE assessment indicated a very low certainty for all outcomes except for patient discomfort, which was indicated as a moderate level of certainty. CONCLUSIONS There may be no difference between HFNC and FM preoxygenation in preventing oxygen desaturation <92% or the lowest oxygen saturation before intubation. Preparation remains important to prevent and manage desaturation during induction of obese patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is a risk factor for airway-related incidents during anaesthesia. High-flow nasal oxygen has been advocated to improve safety in high-risk groups, but its effectiveness in the obese population is uncertain. This study compared the effect of high-flow nasal oxygen and low-flow facemask oxygen delivery on duration of apnoea in morbidly obese patients. METHODS Morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery were randomly allocated to receive either high-flow nasal (70 L min-1) or facemask (15 L min-1) oxygen. After induction of anaesthesia, the patients were apnoeic for 18 min or until peripheral oxygen saturation decreased to 92%. RESULTS Eighty patients were studied (41 High-Flow Nasal Oxygen, 39 Facemask). The median apnoea time was 18 min in both the High-Flow Nasal Oxygen (IQR 18-18 min) and the Facemask (inter-quartile range [IQR], 4.1-18 min) groups. Five patients in the High-Flow Nasal Oxygen group and 14 patients in the Facemask group desaturated to 92% within 18 min. The risk of desaturation was significantly lower in the High-Flow Nasal Oxygen group (hazard ratio=0.27; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.11-0.65; P=0.007). CONCLUSIONS In experienced hands, apnoeic oxygenation is possible in morbidly obese patients, and oxygen desaturation did not occur for 18 min in the majority of patients, whether oxygen delivery was high-flow nasal or low-flow facemask. High-flow nasal oxygen may reduce desaturation risk compared with facemask oxygen. Desaturation risk is a more clinically relevant outcome than duration of apnoea. Individual physiological factors are likely to be the primary determinant of risk rather than method of oxygen delivery. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT03428256.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies focusing on the relationship between gastric volume and facemask oxygenation without ventilation during apnea in anesthesia induction are scarce. This study compared the change in gastric volume during apnea in anesthesia induction using facemask ventilation and facemask oxygenation without ventilation in adults undergoing laparoscopic surgery. METHODS In this prospective, randomized, double-blinded trial, 70 adults undergoing laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia were divided into two groups to receive facemask oxygenation with and without ventilation for 60 seconds after loss of consciousness. Before anesthesia induction and after endotracheal intubation, the gastric antral cross-sectional area was measured with ultrasound imaging. Arterial blood gases were tested at baseline (T1), after preoxygenation (T2), after loss of consciousness (T3), and before and after endotracheal intubation (T4 and T5, respectively). RESULTS Sixty patients were included (ventilation n = 30; non ventilation n = 30, 10 patients were excluded). The median [IQR] change of gastric antral cross-sectional area in ventilation group was significantly higher than in non ventilation group (0.83 [0.20 to 1.54] vs. 0.10 [- 0.11 to 0.56] cm2, P = 0.001). At T4 and T5, the PaO2 in ventilation group was significantly higher than in non ventilation group (T4: 391.83 ± 61.53 vs. 336.23 ± 74.99 mmHg, P < 0.01; T5: 364.00 ± 58.65 vs. 297.13 ± 86.95 mmHg, P < 0.01), while the PaCO2 in non ventilation group was significantly higher (T4: 46.57 ± 5.78 vs. 37.27 ± 6.10 mmHg, P < 0.01; T5: 48.77 ± 6.59 vs. 42.63 ± 6.03 mmHg, P < 0.01) and the pH value in non ventilation group was significantly lower (T4: 7.35 ± 0.029 vs 7.42 ± 0.047, P < 0.01; T5: 7.34 ± 0.033 vs 7.39 ± 0.044, P < 0.01). At T4, the HCO3- in non ventilation group was significantly higher (25.79 ± 2.36 vs. 23.98 ± 2.18 mmol l- 1, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS During apnoea, the increase in gastric volume was milder in patients undergoing facemask oxygenation without ventilation than with positive pressure ventilation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In adult patients with acute respiratory failure, nasal high-flow (NHF) therapy at the time of intubation can decrease the duration of hypoxia. The objective of this pilot study was to calculate duration of peripheral oxygen saturation below 75% during single and multiple intubation attempts in order to inform development of a larger definitive trial. DESIGN AND SETTING This double-blinded randomised controlled pilot trial was conducted at a single, tertiary neonatal centre from October 2020 to October 2021. PARTICIPANTS Infants undergoing oral intubation in neonatal intensive care were included. Infants with upper airway anomalies were excluded. INTERVENTIONS Infants were randomly assigned (1:1) to have NHF 6 L/min, FiO2 1.0 or NHF 0 L/min (control) applied during intubation, stratified by gestational age (<34 weeks vs ≥34 weeks). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome was duration of hypoxaemia of <75% up to the time of successful intubation, RESULTS: 43 infants were enrolled (26 <34 weeks and 17 ≥34 weeks) with 50 intubation episodes. In infants <34 weeks' gestation, median duration of SpO2 of <75% was 29 s (0-126 s) vs 43 s (0-132 s) (p=0.78, intervention vs control). Median duration of SpO2 of <75% in babies ≥34 weeks' gestation was 0 (0-32 s) vs 0 (0-20 s) (p=0.9, intervention vs control). CONCLUSION This pilot study showed that it is feasible to provide NHF during intubation attempts. No significant differences were noted in duration of oxygen saturation of <75% between groups; however, this trial was not powered to detect a difference. A larger, higher-powered blinded study is warranted.

Abstract
If we define the human body by the mass of the elements that compose it, we could say that we are oxygen and other elements. Oxygen, in addition to being fundamental in our composition, is an element that we constantly need to support cellular respiration and, therefore, life. Interestingly, despite its importance, humans have not developed mechanisms that allow us to store it and, therefore, we are unable to sustain life if we are deprived of ventilation, even for brief periods. Accordingly, the ability to induce the cessation of ventilation in a patient must be accompanied by different technical and non-technical skills that allow the patient's safety to be maintained in this highly vulnerable state. Through the use of basic mathematical tools and comparative physiology, we hereby propose to review the physiological foundations of preoxygenation to understand the reasons behind the clinical recommendations in this field.

Comparison of Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange and Facemasks in Preoxygenation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:9858820. [PMID: 35872871 PMCID: PMC9300319 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9858820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Revised: 06/21/2022] [Accepted: 06/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022]
Abstract
Background Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange (THRIVE) has received increasing attention and application as an effective noninvasive mode of ventilation in the treatment of clinical anesthesia and critically ill patients. The conclusions reached in clinical studies of THRIVE and facemask oxygenation are still controversial, and the main objective of this systematic review is to determine the advantages of THRIVE over facemask oxygenation in intensive care units, respiratory medicine, and perioperative preoxygenation. Methods PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library have search restrictions. The search library was full of English language articles from the first publication to 15 July 2021. Eligible randomized controlled study designs were included. 245 records were screened, and 5 studies met the inclusion criteria, enrolling a total of 235 patients. Results Studying the THRIVE group compared to the facemask group, three studies analyzing intubation time showed that there is no difference in the effect of THRIVE and facemasks (MD -1.22, 95% CI -7.23 to 4.78, and P = 0.69 > 0.05). Three studies analyzing apnea showed that there was no difference between the two groups (SMD 1, 95% CI -0.76 to 2.76, and P = 0.27 > 0.05). Three studies analyzing PaO2 after preoxygenation showed that THRIVE is more effective than facemasks (MD 72.58, 95% CI 31.25 to 113.90, Z = 3.44, and P < 0.001). Two studies analyzing oxygen saturation SpO2 after successful intubation showed that there was no difference in the effectiveness (MD 0.09, 95% CI -1.03 to 1.22, and P = 0.87 > 0.05). Two studies analyzing PCO2 after complete paralysis or intubation preoxygenation showed that there was no difference between the two groups (MD 2.76, 95% CI -1.74 to 7.26, and P = 0.23 > 0.05). Conclusions THRIVE does not have a greater advantage over a facemask in improving apnea time, oxygenation time, PCO2, and SpO2, but it has an advantage in improving arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) after preoxygenation, which can improve PaO2 well. This trial is registered with the protocol registration number CRD42021268143.

Abstract
Background Tracheal intubation in the emergency department (ED) can cause serious complications. Available evidence on the use of a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) during intubation in the ED is limited. This study evaluated the effect of oxygen therapy by HFNC on oxygen desaturation during tracheal intubation in the ED. Methods This was a single-center before-and-after study designed to compare two groups that received oxygen therapy during intubation: one received conventional oxygen, and the other received oxygen therapy using HFNC. We included non-trauma patients who required tracheal intubation in the ED. Linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between oxygen therapy using HFNC and the lowest peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) during intubation in the conventional and HFNC groups. Results The study population included 87 patients (conventional group, n = 67; HFNC group, n = 20). The median lowest SpO2 in the HFNC group was significantly higher than that in the conventional group (94% [84–99%] vs. 85% [76–91%], p = 0.006). The percentage of cases with oxygen desaturation to < 90% during the intubation procedure in the HFNC group was significantly lower than that in the conventional group (40% vs. 63.8%, p = 0.037). The use of HFNC was significantly associated with the lowest SpO2, and the use of HFNC increased the lowest SpO2 during intubation procedures by 3.658% (p = 0.048). Conclusion We found that the use of HFNC during tracheal intubation was potentially associated with a higher lowest SpO2 during the procedure in comparison to conventional oxygen administration in non-trauma patients in the ED.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Apneic oxygenation is increasingly used in pediatric anesthesia. Its benefit for specific applications depends on the effect of apneic oxygenation on safe apnea time and carbon dioxide (CO2) elimination, on differences between low and high flow oxygen delivery, and on possible adverse effects. The present review summarizes current evidence on these pathophysiological aspects of apneic oxygenation as well as its applications in pediatric anesthesia. RECENT FINDINGS Apneic oxygenation with both low flow and high flow nasal oxygen increases the safe apnea time, but does not lead to increased CO2 elimination. Airway pressures and adverse effects like atelectasis formation, oxidative stress and aerosol generation under apneic oxygenation are not well studied in pediatric anesthesia. Data from adults suggest no important effect on airway pressures when the mouth is open, and no significant formation of atelectasis, oxidative stress or aerosol generation with high flow nasal oxygen. SUMMARY Apneic oxygenation in pediatric anesthesia is mainly used during standard and difficult airway management. It is sometimes used for airway interventions, but CO2 accumulation remains a major limiting factor in this setting. Reports highlight the use of high flow nasal oxygen in spontaneously breathing rather than in apneic children for airway interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neonatal endotracheal intubation often involves more than one attempt, and oxygen desaturation is common. It is unclear whether nasal high-flow therapy, which extends the time to desaturation during elective intubation in children and adults receiving general anesthesia, can improve the likelihood of successful neonatal intubation on the first attempt. METHODS We performed a randomized, controlled trial to compare nasal high-flow therapy with standard care (no nasal high-flow therapy or supplemental oxygen) in neonates undergoing oral endotracheal intubation at two Australian tertiary neonatal intensive care units. Randomization of intubations to the high-flow group or the standard-care group was stratified according to trial center, the use of premedication for intubation (yes or no), and postmenstrual age of the infant (≤28 or >28 weeks). The primary outcome was successful intubation on the first attempt without physiological instability (defined as an absolute decrease in the peripheral oxygen saturation of >20% from the preintubation baseline level or bradycardia with a heart rate of <100 beats per minute) in the infant. RESULTS The primary intention-to-treat analysis included the outcomes of 251 intubations in 202 infants; 124 intubations were assigned to the high-flow group and 127 to the standard-care group. The infants had a median postmenstrual age of 27.9 weeks and a median weight of 920 g at the time of intubation. A successful intubation on the first attempt without physiological instability was achieved in 62 of 124 intubations (50.0%) in the high-flow group and in 40 of 127 intubations (31.5%) in the standard-care group (adjusted risk difference, 17.6 percentage points; 95% confidence interval [CI], 6.0 to 29.2), for a number needed to treat of 6 (95% CI, 4 to 17) for 1 infant to benefit. Successful intubation on the first attempt regardless of physiological stability was accomplished in 68.5% of the intubations in the high-flow group and in 54.3% of the intubations in the standard-care group (adjusted risk difference, 15.8 percentage points; 95% CI, 4.3 to 27.3). CONCLUSIONS Among infants undergoing endotracheal intubation at two Australian tertiary neonatal intensive care units, nasal high-flow therapy during the procedure improved the likelihood of successful intubation on the first attempt without physiological instability in the infant.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Rapid and effective airway management is priority for trauma patients. Trauma patients are often at an increased risk of experiencing hypoxia, and thus at increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Apneic oxygenation has been widely debated but has been reported to provide benefit in terms of increased peri-intubation oxygen saturation and decreased rates of desaturation. This review aims to evaluate the current literature on the efficacy of apneic oxygenation in the setting of rapid sequence intubation (RSI) in trauma patients. RECENT FINDINGS Two prospective studies published this year, demonstrated that apneic oxygenation was effective in reducing hypoxic events and hypoxic duration during RSI. SUMMARY The use of apneic oxygenation can play an important role in preventing hypoxic events in trauma patients undergoing RSI. The use of apneic oxygenation is cheap, and should be considered to reduce hypoxemic events. Additional studies are required to see the effects of apneic oxygenation on outcomes in trauma patients undergoing RSI, specifically desaturation and hypoxemic events and duration, and early onset mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Classical rapid sequence induction and intubation (RSII) is used to reduce pulmonary aspiration, but it increases the risk of hypoxemia. Apneic oxygenation (ApOx) has been studied to prolong safe apneic time, and to decrease the incidence of hypoxemia in adults. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of ApOx via low-flow nasal cannula to reduce the incidence of hypoxemia in pediatric rapid sequence induction. METHODS This prospective single-blind randomized controlled trial included patients aged 0-7 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status 1 to 3, who underwent elective or emergency surgery under general anesthesia with rapid sequence induction during February 2020 to March 2021. Participants were randomized to the ApOx group or the classical rapid sequence induction group. The ApOx group received oxygen flow via regular nasal cannula, as follows: 1 liter per minute (LPM) in age 0-1 month, 2 LPM in age 1-12 months, and 4 LPM in age 1-7 years. The classical group did not receive oxygen supplementation during intubation. The primary outcome was the incidence of hypoxemia, defined as oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≤92%. RESULTS Sixty-four participants were recruited. The incidence of hypoxemia in both groups was 8 of 32 participants (25%) (P=1.000). Among desaturated patients, the median time to desaturation was 29.5 and 35 seconds in the ApOx and classical groups, respectively (P=0.527). The median lowest SpO2 was 91% and 88.5% in the ApOx and classical groups, respectively (P=0.079). In non-desaturated patients, the median time to successful intubation was 40.5 and 35.5 seconds in the ApOx and classical groups, respectively (P=0.069). CONCLUSIONS In this small sample study, ApOx using age-adjusted low-flow nasal cannula was ineffective for reducing the incidence of hypoxemia in pediatric RSII.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anesthesia studies using high-flow, humidified, heated oxygen delivered via nasal cannulas at flow rates of more than 50 l · min-1 postulated a ventilatory effect because carbon dioxide increased at lower levels as reported earlier. This study investigated the increase of arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide between different flow rates of 100% oxygen in elective anesthetized and paralyzed surgical adults before intubation. METHODS After preoxygenation and standardized anesthesia induction with nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockade, all patients received 100% oxygen (via high-flow nasal oxygenation system or circuit of the anesthesia machine), and continuous jaw thrust/laryngoscopy was applied throughout the 15-min period. In this single-center noninferiority trial, 25 patients each, were randomized to five groups: (1) minimal flow: 0.25 l · min-1, endotracheal tube; (2) low flow: 2 l · min-1, continuous jaw thrust; (3) medium flow: 10 l · min-1, continuous jaw thrust; (4) high flow: 70 l · min-1, continuous jaw thrust; and (5) control: 70 l · min-1, continuous laryngoscopy. Immediately after anesthesia induction, the 15-min apnea period started with oxygen delivered according to the randomized flow rate. Serial arterial blood gas analyses were drawn every 2 min. The study was terminated if either oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry was less than 92%, transcutaneous carbon dioxide was greater than 100 mmHg, pH was less than 7.1, potassium level was greater than 6 mmol · l-1, or apnea time was 15 min. The primary outcome was the linear rate of mean increase of arterial carbon dioxide during the 15-min apnea period computed from linear regressions. RESULTS In total, 125 patients completed the study. Noninferiority with a predefined noninferiority margin of 0.3 mmHg · min-1 could be declared for all treatments with the following mean and 95% CI for the mean differences in the linear rate of arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide with associated P values regarding noninferiority: high flow versus control, -0.0 mmHg · min-1 (-0.3, 0.3 mmHg · min-1, P = 0.030); medium flow versus control, -0.1 mmHg · min-1 (-0.4, 0.2 mmHg · min-1, P = 0.002); low flow versus control, -0.1 mmHg · min-1 (-0.4, 0.2 mmHg · min-1, P = 0.003); and minimal flow versus control, -0.1 mmHg · min-1 (-0.4, 0.2 mmHg · min-1, P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Widely differing flow rates of humidified 100% oxygen during apnea resulted in comparable increases of arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide, which does not support an additional ventilatory effect of high-flow nasal oxygenation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Ambulatory surgery is increasing, more procedures as well as more complex procedures are transferred to ambulatory surgery. Patients of all ages including elderly and more fragile are nowadays scheduled for ambulatory surgery. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols are now developed for further facilitating readily recovery, ambulation, and discharge. Thus, to secure safety, a vigilant planning and preparedness for adverse events and emergencies is mandatory. RECENT FINDINGS Proper preoperative assessment, preparation/optimization and collaboration between anaesthetist and surgeon to plan for the optimal perioperative handling has become basic to facilitate well tolerated perioperative course. Standard operating procedures for rare emergencies must be in place. These SOPs should be trained and retrained on a regular basis to secure safety. Check lists and cognitive aids are tools to help improving safety. Audit and analysis of adverse outcomes and deviations is likewise of importance to continuously analyse and implement corrective activity plans whenever needed. SUMMARY The present review will provide an oversight of aspects that needs to be acknowledged around planning handling of rare but serious emergencies to secure quality and safety of care in freestanding ambulatory settings.

Abstract
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) during anaesthesia induction improves oxygen saturation (SpO2) outcomes in adults subjected to airway manipulation, and could similarly support oxygenation in children. We evaluated whether CPAP ventilation and passive CPAP oxygenation in children would defer a SpO2 decrease to 95% after apnoea onset compared to the regular technique in which no positive airway pressure is applied. In this double-blind, parallel, randomised controlled clinical trial, 68 children aged 2–6 years with ASA I–II who underwent surgery under general anaesthesia were divided into CPAP and control groups (n = 34 in each group). The intervention was CPAP ventilation and passive CPAP oxygenation using an anaesthesia workstation. The primary outcome was the elapsed time until SpO2 decreased to 95% during a follow-up period of 300 s from apnoea onset (T1). We also recorded the time required to regain baseline levels from an SpO2 of 95% aided by positive pressure ventilation (T2). The median T1 was 278 s (95% confidence interval [CI]: 188–368) in the CPAP group and 124 s (95% CI: 92–157) in the control group (median difference: 154 s; 95% CI: 58–249; p = 0.002). There were 17 (50%) and 32 (94.1%) primary events in the CPAP and control groups, respectively. The hazard ratio was 0.26 (95% CI: 0.14–0.48; p<0.001). The median for T2 was 21 s (95% CI: 13–29) and 29 s (95% CI: 22–36) in the CPAP and control groups, respectively (median difference: 8 s; 95% CI: -3 to 19; p = 0.142). SpO2 was significantly higher in the CPAP group than in the control group throughout the consecutive measures between 60 and 210 s (with p ranging from 0.047 to <0.001). Thus, in the age groups examined, CPAP ventilation and passive CPAP oxygenation deferred SpO2 decrease after apnoea onset compared to the regular technique with no positive airway pressure.

Biomarkers for oxidative stress and organ injury during Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange compared to mechanical ventilation in adults undergoing microlaryngoscopy: A randomised controlled study. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2021; 65:1276-1284. [PMID: 34028012 DOI: 10.1111/aas.13927] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2021] [Revised: 04/14/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Apnoeic oxygenation using Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange (THRIVE) during general anaesthesia prolongs the safe apnoeic period. However, there is a gap of knowledge how THRIVE-induced hyperoxia and hypercapnia impact vital organs. The primary aim of this randomised controlled trial was to characterise oxidative stress and, secondary, vital organ function biomarkers during THRIVE compared to mechanical ventilation (MV). METHODS Thirty adult patients, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) 1-2, undergoing short laryngeal surgery under general anaesthesia were randomised to THRIVE, FI O2 1.0, 70 L min-1 during apnoea or MV. Blood biomarkers for oxidative stress, malondialdehyde and TAC and vital organ function were collected (A) preoperatively, (B) at procedure completion and (C) at PACU discharge. RESULTS Mean apnoea time was 17.9 (4.8) min and intubation to end-of-surgery time was 28.1 (12.8) min in the THRIVE and MV group, respectively. Malondialdehyde increased from 11.2 (3.1) to 12.7 (3.1) µM (P = .02) and from 9.5 (2.2) to 11.6 (2.6) µM (P = .003) (A to C) in the THRIVE and MV group, respectively. S100B increased from 0.05 (0.02) to 0.06 (0.02) µg L-1 (P = .005) (A to C) in the THRIVE group. No increase in TAC, CRP, leukocyte count, troponin-T, NTproBNP, creatinine, eGFRcrea or NSE was demonstrated during THRIVE. CONCLUSION While THRIVE and MV was associated with increased oxidative stress, we found no change in cardiac, inflammation or kidney biomarkers during THRIVE. Further evaluation of stress and inflammatory response and cerebral and cardiac function during THRIVE is needed.

[PMID: 34585757 DOI: 10.1002/lary.29885] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2021] [Revised: 08/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Managing the shared airway in subglottic stenosis presents a unique challenge. Tubeless anesthesia with apneic oxygenation is increasingly being adopted as it overcomes the limitations of access to and visualization of the narrowed subglottis. Low-flow oxygenation (LFO) and transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) are two delivery techniques. We sought to compare their utility in this patient cohort. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS Thirty-five cases of endoscopic debridement of subglottic stenosis were retrospectively studied. Operative technique was consistent among the cases. Oxygen was delivered at low-flow rates at the laryngeal inlet with LFO (n = 23) or high-flow rates at the nares with THRIVE (n = 12). Data regarding apnea time, the need for rescue ventilation, and relevant patient and disease factors were recorded for analysis. RESULTS Median apnea time for LFO and THRIVE were 34 and 25 minutes, respectively. Rescue with intermittent supraglottic jet ventilation was required more often with LFO than THRIVE (61% vs 33%) and was sufficient for the case to be completed in all but one instance. Elevated BMI was the sole significant predictor of early oxygen desaturation (24.8 vs 37.95 kg/m2 , P = .002) with LFO. Median stenosis diameter was 6 mm (range 2-14). CONCLUSION Apneic techniques are safe and feasible for the endoscopic management of subglottic stenosis of all severities. Elevated BMI is the only significant predictor for early oxygen desaturation. In the many healthcare settings where THRIVE is not available, LFO is a valid alterative in the nonobese patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This study aimed to analyze the feasibility of transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) during laryngeal microsurgery (LMS) and investigated its efficiency and application according to the location of the lesion. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. METHODS Patients over 20 years of age who underwent LMS without underlying cardiac, pulmonary, or cerebrovascular disease were retrospectively reviewed. Overall, 54 patients with endotracheal intubation (ETI) and 44 patients with THRIVE were included. The operation and anesthesia time, induction and emergence time, oxygen saturation (SpO2 ), and transcutaneous carbon dioxide (TcCO2 ) levels were analyzed and compared between the two ventilation methods according to disease subsite. RESULTS Compared with ETI, patients with THRIVE presented reduced operation time (16.3 ± 9.69 min vs. 21.9 ± 12.0 min), anesthesia time (33.6 ± 11.4 min vs. 45.4 ± 13.9 min), emergence time (6.73 ± 2.49 min vs. 8.52 ± 3.17 min), without significant decreases in SpO2 but with increased TcCO2 (10.9 ± 6.12% vs. 7.33 ± 3.86%). Comparing THRIVE to ETI for lesions at the glottis yielded similar findings, which were particularly more significant. However, lesions above the glottis presented no significant difference for any parameters between THRIVE and ETI groups. Lesions involving multiple subsites and prolonged operation time were risk factors for the intraoperative conversion of ventilation method. CONCLUSION THRIVE is reliable for maintaining oxygenation during LMS and is efficient in reducing the operation and emergence times, leading to shorter anesthesia time, especially for lesions at the glottis. However, caution is required administering THRIVE, when lesion involves multiple subsites, and when operation time is prolonged. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 Laryngoscope, 2021.

Abstract
High-flow nasal oxygen used before and during apnoea prolongs time to desaturation at induction of anaesthesia. It is unclear how much oxygenation before apnoea prolongs this time. We randomly allocated 84 participants to 3 minutes of pre-oxygenation by one of three methods: 15 l.min-1 by facemask; 50 l.min-1 by high-flow nasal cannulae only; or 50 l.min-1 by high-flow nasal cannulae plus 15 l.min-1 by mouthpiece. We then anaesthetised and intubated the trachea of 79 participants and waited for oxygen saturation to fall to 92%. Median (IQR [range]) times to desaturate to 92% after pre-oxygenation with facemask oxygen, high-flow nasal oxygen only and high-flow nasal oxygen with mouthpiece, were: 309 (208-417 [107-544]) s; 344 (250-393 [194-585]) s; and 386 (328-498 [182-852]) s, respectively, p = 0.014. Time to desaturation after facemask pre-oxygenation was shorter than after combined nasal and mouthpiece pre-oxygenation, p = 0.006. We could not statistically distinguish high-flow nasal oxygen without mouthpiece from the other two groups for this outcome. Median (IQR [range]) arterial oxygen partial pressure after 3 minutes of pre-oxygenation by facemask, nasal cannulae and nasal cannulae plus mouthpiece, was: 49 (36-61 [24-66]) kPa; 57 (48-62 [30-69]) kPa; and 61 (55-64 [36-72]) kPa, respectively, p = 0.003. Oxygen partial pressure after 3 minutes of pre-oxygenation with nasal and mouthpiece combination was greater than after facemask pre-oxygenation, p = 0.002, and after high-flow nasal oxygen alone, p = 0.016. We did not reject the null hypothesis for the pairwise comparison of facemask pre-oxygenation and high-flow nasal pre-oxygenation, p = 0.14.

Abstract
Airway management in patients presenting with severe airway obstruction can present a challenge to the anaesthetist, as conventional difficult airway pathways are often inappropriate. The use of a transtracheal jet cannula is an alternative means of airway securement, but lack of familiarity has limited its use in general tertiary hospitals. We report a retrospective audit of the use of transtracheal jet ventilation in a general tertiary healthcare centre over the past seven years, with a total of 50 patients with severe airway compromise undergoing pharyngolaryngeal surgery. Transtracheal jet ventilation was successful in 98% of patients, and was the definitive means of airway management in 43 cases. In six cases, the technique was a useful temporising measure while the airway was secured by other means. Minor complications occurred in 12% of patients. No major morbidities or mortalities were recorded. We conclude that transtracheal jet ventilation for high-risk pharyngolaryngeal surgery can be performed using a high frequency jet ventilator, with a high rate of success and only minor complications. Cannulation of the trachea below the cricothyroid membrane is feasible but more challenging. Low-flow apnoeic oxygenation through the transtracheal jet ventilation cannula maintains oxygenation during initial surgical airway manipulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The objective of this study was to compare ventilation techniques utilized in microlaryngeal surgery. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. METHODS Two-hundred surgeries performed from May 1, 2018 to March 1, 2020 and stratified as intubated, intermittently intubated (AAIV) or apneic. Patient demographics, comorbidities, anesthetic agents, intraoperative parameters/events, and complications were studied and compared across the three groups using inferential analyses. RESULTS Median body mass index in the AAIV group was significantly higher (33 vs. 29; P = .0117). Median oxygen nadirs were lower in AAIV cases (81% vs. 91-92%) while CO2 peak measurements were lower (33 mmHg vs. 48 mmHg) in the fully apneic cohort which were significantly shorter cases (P < .0001). CO2 peak measurements were comparable between AAIV and intubated cohorts (median 48.5 mmHg vs. 48.0 mmHg). Median apnea times were significantly prolonged by 2-5.5 minutes using nasal cannula and THRIVE/Optiflow in fully apneic cases when compared to no supplementary oxygenation (P = .0013). Systolic blood pressures following insertion of laryngoscope were higher (159.5 vs. 145 mmHg) and postoperative diastolic pressures were lower (68.5 vs. 76.5 mmHg) in fully apneic cases than intubated cases. No differences existed between frequencies of complications. CONCLUSIONS This study compares intubated, intermittently apneic, and fully apneic surgeries. No statistically significant differences were noted in comorbid conditions. While intraoperative hemodynamic fluctuations were more pronounced in the fully apneic cohort, and oxygenation distributions were lower in the AAIV cohort, no significant differences existed between events and complications. Apneic techniques are as safe and effective as traditional intubation. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4 Laryngoscope, 2021.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) is an emerging technology that has generated interest in tubeless anesthesia for airway surgery. HFNO has been shown to maintain oxygenation and CO2 clearance in spontaneously breathing patients and is an effective approach to apneic oxygenation. Although it has been suggested that HFNO can enhance CO2 clearance during apnea, this has not been established. The true extent of CO2 accumulation and resulting acidosis using HFNO during prolonged tubeless anesthesia remains undefined. METHODS In a single-center trial, we randomly assigned 20 adults undergoing microlaryngoscopy to apnea or spontaneous ventilation (SV) using HFNO during 30 minutes of tubeless anesthesia. Serial arterial blood gas analysis was performed during preoxygenation and general anesthesia. The primary outcome was the partial pressure of CO2 (Paco2) after 30 minutes of general anesthesia, with each group compared using a Student t test. RESULTS Nineteen patients completed the study protocol (9 in the SV group and 10 in the apnea group). The mean (standard deviation [SD]) Paco2 was 89.0 mm Hg (16.5 mm Hg) in the apnea group and 55.2 mm Hg (7.2 mm Hg) in the SV group (difference in means, 33.8; 95% confidence interval [CI], 20.6-47.0) after 30 minutes of general anesthesia (P < .001). The average rate of Paco2 rise during 30 minutes of general anesthesia was 1.8 mm Hg/min (SD = 0.5 mm Hg/min) in the apnea group and 0.8 mm Hg/min (SD = 0.3 mm Hg/min) in the SV group. The mean (SD) pH was 7.11 (0.04) in the apnea group and 7.29 (0.06) in the SV group (P < .001) at 30 minutes. Five (55%) of the apneic patients had a pH <7.10, of which the lowest measurement was 7.057. No significant difference in partial pressure of arterial O2 (Pao2) was observed after 30 minutes of general anesthesia. CONCLUSIONS CO2 accumulation during apnea was more than double that of SV after 30 minutes of tubeless anesthesia using HFNO. The use of robust measurement confirms that apnea with HFNO is limited by CO2 accumulation and the concomitant severe respiratory acidosis, in contrast to SV. This extends previous knowledge and has implications for the safe application of HFNO during prolonged procedures.

Abstract
Certain pulmonary lesions may be challenging to biopsy with conventional computed tomography percutaneous lung biopsy (CTPLB) under local anaesthesia (LA) which requires consistent patient breath holding to minimise complications. We aim to describe and evaluate the feasibility of CTPLB under general anaesthesia (GA) with apnoea, comparing results to patients undergoing biopsy under LA. This was a retrospective analysis of CTPLB with 18 GA and 137 LA patients. All biopsies were performed using a co-axial needle system in the radiology department on a multi-detector CT scanner with patient positioning determined by assessing shortest distance to target lesion. GA cases were performed under relaxant anaesthesia with intermittent positive pressure ventilation. Lower lobar lesion location and a combination of size and location (including proximity to critical structures) were indications for GA biopsy in >90% of patients. Mean lesion size for GA biopsies was 18 mm and control group 30 mm (P < 0.006) and mean pleura to lesion distance 29 and 11 mm, respectively (P < 0.0009). Pneumothorax rates were lower in our GA biopsy group (11%) compared to control group (42%) (P < 0.05). No anaesthetic complications were encountered. All GA samples were diagnostic. Based on a small number of patients, CTPLB under GA with apnoea seems a safe, feasible alternative to conventional CTPLB under LA for technically challenging lesions. This technique is routinely employed at our centre allowing access to lesions previously deemed unsafe to biopsy.

intubation. It is important for the practitioner to be calm, quick in judgment, and take
action in cases of difficult intubation. Recently, high-flow nasal oxygenation has been
rapidly introduced into the anesthesiology field. This technique could extend the safe
apnea time to desaturation. Especially, it maintains adequate oxygenation even in apnea
and allows time for intubation or alternative airway management. We report two cases in
which high-flow nasal oxygenation was implemented in the middle of the induction process
after quick judgment by clinicians. High-flow nasal oxygenation was successfully used to
assist in prolonging the safe apnea time during delicate airway securing attempts.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is very commonly performed among the cardiovascular surgeries, and delayed recovery (DR) is a kind of serious complications in patients with CPB. It is necessary to assess the risk factors for DR in patients with CPB, to provide evidence into the management of CPB patients.Patients undergoing CPB in our hospital from January 2018 to March 2020 were included. Cases that consciousness has not recovered 12 hours after anesthesia were considered as DR. The preoperative and intraoperative variables of CPB patients were collected and analyzed. Logistic regressions were conducted to analyze the potential influencing factor.A total of 756 CPB patients were included, and the incidence of DR was 9.79%. There were significant differences on the age, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), glutamic pvruvic transaminase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and serum creatinine (SCr) between patients with and without DR (all P < .05); there were no significant differences in the types of surgical procedure (all P > .05); there were significant differences on the duration of CPB, duration of aortic cross clamp (ACC), duration of surgery, minimum nasopharyngeal temperature, and transfusion of packed red blood cells between patients with and without DR (all P < .05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that duration of CPB ≥132 minutes (odds ratio [OR] 4.12, 1.02-8.33), BUN ≥9 mmol/L (OR 4.05, 1.37-8.41), infusion of red blood cell suspension (OR 3.93, 1.25-7.63), duration of surgery ≥350 minutes (OR 3.17, 1.24-5.20), age ≥6 (OR 3.01, 1.38-6.84) were the independent risk factors for DR in patients with CPB (all P < .05).Extra attention and care are needed for those CPB patients with duration of CPB ≥132 minutes, BUN ≥9 mmol/L, infusion of red blood cell suspension, duration of surgery ≥350 minutes, and age ≥60.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) on gastric insufflation during general anesthesia induction in obese patients. METHODS Ninety obese patients (BMI 30-39.9 kg/m2) undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia were randomized into 3 groups (n=30) to receive facemask pre- oxygenation followed by face mask ventilation (FMV) after administration of anesthetics (Group M), oxygenation with THRIVE (Group T), or pre-oxygenation with facemask combined with THRIVE followed continuous oxygenation with both FMV and THRIVE after administration of anesthetics (Group M+T). The patients in the latter two groups received continuous oxygen via THRIVE during tracheal intubation. All the patients received real-time ultrasound monitoring of the gastric antrum, and positive gastric insufflation (GI+) was defined by the presence of comet-tail artifacts. The cross-sectional area of the gastic antrum (CSA-GA) was measured by ultrasound before and after pre-oxygenation and after intubation. The patients' SpO2, PaO2, and PaCO2 at admission (T1), 5 min after pre-oxygenation (T2), 5 min after medication (T3), and immediately after intubation (T4) were recorded, and the incidence of postoperative adverse events was assessed. RESULTS The incidence of gastric insufflation was significantly higher in Group M and Group M+T than in Group T (P < 0.05). The CSA-GA was significantly greater at T4 than at T1 in Group M and Group M+T and in their GI+s ubgroups. The GI+ subgroups in Group M and Group M+ T had significantly larger CSA-GA at T4 than the GI- subgroups (P < 0.05). CSA-GA did not vary significantly during anesthesia induction in Group T (P>0.05). The incidence of grade Ⅰ gastric distension was lower but grade Ⅱ gastric distention was higher in Group M and Group M+T than in Group T (P < 0.05). Group M showed significantly greater variations of PaO2 at T3 and T4 than Group T and Group M+T (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound monitoring of the comet tail sign and the changes of CSA-GA in the gastric antrum is feasible and reliable for detecting gastrointestinal airflow, and in obese patients, the application of THRIVE for induction of anesthesia can ensure the oxygenation level without further increasing gastric insufflation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Neonatal endotracheal intubation is an essential but potentially destabilising procedure. With an increased focus on avoiding mechanical ventilation, particularly in preterm infants, there are fewer opportunities for clinicians to gain proficiency in this important emergency skill. Rates of successful intubation at the first attempt are relatively low, and adverse event rates are high, when compared with intubations in paediatric and adult populations. Interventions to improve operator success and patient stability during neonatal endotracheal intubations are needed. Using nasal high flow therapy extends the safe apnoea time of adults undergoing upper airway surgery and during endotracheal intubation. This technique is untested in neonates. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The Stabilisation with nasal High flow during Intubation of NEonates (SHINE) trial is a multicentre, randomised controlled trial comparing the use of nasal high flow during neonatal intubation with standard care (no nasal high flow). Intubations are randomised individually, and stratified by site, use of premedications, and postmenstrual age (<28 weeks' gestation; ≥28 weeks' gestation). The primary outcome is the incidence of successful intubation on the first attempt without physiological instability of the infant. Physiological instability is defined as an absolute decrease in peripheral oxygen saturation >20% from preintubation baseline and/or bradycardia (<100 beats per minute). ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The SHINE trial received ethical approval from the Human Research Ethics Committees of The Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne, Australia and Monash Health, Melbourne, Australia. The trial is currently recruiting in these two sites. The findings of this study will be disseminated via peer-reviewed journals and presented at national and international conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ACTRN12618001498280.

Abstract
Perioperative morbidity and mortality are high among patients in the extremes of life undergoing anesthesia. Complications in children occur mainly as a result of airway management-related events such as difficult approach, laryngospasm, bronchospasm and severe hypoxemia, which may result in cardiac arrest, neurological deficit or death. Reports and new considerations that have changed clinical practice in pediatric airway management have emerged in recent years. This narrative literature review seeks to summarize and detail the findings on the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric anesthesia and to highlight those things that anesthetists need to be aware of, according to the scientific reports that have been changing practice in pediatric anesthesia.
This review focuses on the identification of “new” and specific practices that have emerged over the past 10 years and have helped reduce complications associated with pediatric airway management. At least 9 practices grouped into 4 groups are described: assessment, approach techniques, devices, and algorithms. The same devices used in adults are essentially all available for the management of the pediatric airway, and anesthesia-related morbidity and mortality can be reduced through improved quality of care in pediatrics.

Prevention of Oxygen Desaturation in Morbidly Obese Patients During Electroconvulsive Therapy: A Narrative Review. J ECT 2020; 36:161-167.

Abstract
In general, preoxygenation is performed using a face mask with oxygen in a supine position, and oxygenation is maintained with manual mask ventilation during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). However, hypoxic episodes during ECT are not uncommon with this conventional method, especially in morbidly obese patients. The most important property of ventilatory mechanics in patients with obesity is reduced functional residual capacity (FRC). Thus, increasing FRC and oxygen reserves is an important step to improve oxygenation and prevent oxygen desaturation in these individuals. Head-up position, use of apneic oxygenation, noninvasive positive pressure ventilation, and high-flow nasal cannula help increase FRC and oxygen reserves, resulting in improved oxygenation and prolonged safe apnea period. Furthermore, significantly higher incidence of difficult mask ventilation is common in morbidly obese individuals. Supraglottic airway devices establish effective ventilation in patients with difficult airways. Thus, the use of supraglottic airway devices is strongly recommended in these patients. Conversely, because muscle fasciculation induced by depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents markedly increases oxygen consumption, especially in individuals with obesity, the use of nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents may contribute to better oxygenation in morbidly obese patients during ECT.

Abstract
It is recognised that high-flow nasal therapy can prevent desaturation during airway management. Studies in spontaneously breathing patients show an almost linear relationship between flow rate and positive airway pressure in the nasopharynx. Positive airway pressure has been suggested as one of the possible mechanisms explaining how high-flow nasal therapy works. However, data on pressures generated by high-flow nasal therapy in apnoeic adults under general anaesthesia are absent. This randomised controlled crossover trial investigated airway pressures generated by different flow rates during high-flow nasal therapy in anaesthetised and paralysed apnoeic patients, comparing pressures with closed and open mouths. Following induction of anaesthesia and neuromuscular blockade, a continuous jaw thrust was used to enable airway patency. Airway pressure was measured in the right main bronchus, the middle of the trachea and the pharynx, using a fibreoptically-placed catheter connected to a pressure transducer. Each measurement was randomised with respect to closed or open mouth and different flow rates. Twenty patients undergoing elective surgery were included (mean (SD) age 38 (18) years, BMI 25.0 (3.3) kg.m-2 , nine women, ASA physical status 1 (35%), 2 (55%), 3 (10%). While closed mouths and increasing flow rates demonstrated non-linear increases in pressure, the pressure increase was negligible with an open mouth. Airway pressures remained below 10 cmH2 O even with closed mouths and flow rates up to 80 l.min-1 ; they were not influenced by catheter position. This study shows an increase in airway pressures with closed mouths that depends on flow rate. The generated pressure is negligible with an open mouth. These data question positive airway pressure as an important mechanism for maintenance of oxygenation during apnoea.
