Background. During induction of general anaesthesia a “can’t intubate, can’t oxygenate” (CICO) situation can arise, leading to severe hypoxaemia. Evidence is scarce to guide ventilation strategies for small-bore front of neck airways that ensure effe...

Background Studies of pulmonary denitrogenation (pre-oxygenation) in obstetric populations have shown high flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNO) is inferior to facemask techniques. HFNO achieves median end-tidal oxygen fraction (FE′O2) of 0.87 after 3...
