Transnasal Humidified Rapid Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange in Endoscopic Esophageal Surgery

CONCLUSION: THRIVE is a feasible, safe, and efficacious means of apneic oxygenation for patients undergoing esophageal endoscopic surgery under general anesthesia with neuromuscular paralysis, which may be particularly beneficial in patients with airway stenosis, as post-intubation changes can have severe clinical implications for this patient population. Obese patients and tobacco smokers may be at increased risk of oxygen desaturation when using THRIVE.PMID:38050852 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231216273
