Abstract
Nonintubation anaesthesia for laryngomicrosurgery (LMS) provides both excellent visualization of the surgical field and complete examination on vocal cord. However, adequate oxygenation remains challenging during nonintubated LMS. Recently, transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilator exchange (THRIVE) has been reported effectively maintaining apneic oxygenation in patient with difficult airways. The feasibility and safety of nonintubated LMS with THRIVE was evaluated in this case series.
