Role of high flow nasal oxygen in the management of a case of anaesthesia related aspiration pneumonia

Recently high-flow oxygen delivered through nasal cannula (HFNO) has emerged as an alternative to NIV. The Airvo™-2 features an integrated flow generator that delivers air/oxygen mixtures with FiO2 range 21%–95%, does not require piped oxygen/air, delivers flows up to 60L/min, and enables transition...

Description
Summary:Recently high-flow oxygen delivered through nasal cannula (HFNO) has emerged as an alternative to NIV. The Airvo™-2 features an integrated flow generator that delivers air/oxygen mixtures with FiO2 range 21%–95%, does not require piped oxygen/air, delivers flows up to 60L/min, and enables transition of Optiflow THRIVE™ (fixed delivered FiO2 of 1.0) into non-critical care areas of hospital. HFNO use has been shown to increase tidal volume, end expiratory lung volume and inspiratory to expiratory ratio with corresponding decreases in respiratory rate and no change to minute ventilation [3].
