HFNO in Action
In this video, Dr Anil Patel demonstrates the uses of High-Flow Nasal Oxygenation and Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange (THRIVE).
As you read in the previous article, HFNO can be very useful to relieve airway obstruction and, in the form of THRIVE, to provide apnoeic oxygenation during shared-airways procedures and attempts at intubation.
In the video the physiological principles of supraglottic vortices and cardiac oscillation are illustrated.
HFNO can also used to oxygenate patients during awake tracheal intubation: move onto the next step to learn more about this technique.
