THIRVE in Foreign Body Bronchus Removal-A Novel Approach.

We prospectively studied novel anesthetic and surgical approach to foreign body bronchus removal using HHFNC (heated humidified high flow nasal cannula)/THRIVE technique(Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation ventilatory Exchange) in eleven cases. MacIntosh Laryngoscope was used to expose laryngeal inlet and FB was removed with an optical forcep (mounted over 2.7 mm rigid bronchoscope) without using ventilating bronchosocope.

High Flow Nasal Cannula: A Game Changer in Airway Surgery.

High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) delivers humidified oxygen at high flow. Its use during airway procedures has many advantages. The study was done to determine the duration of apnea time, safety and compatibility with laser, while using HFNC during airway procedures.
