Apnoeic oxygenation with high‐flow oxygen for tracheal resection and reconstruction

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of high‐flow oxygen as the sole method of gas exchange in apnoeic conditions during anastomosis construction. Subject and method: Between April 2019 and August 2020, 16 patients with tracheal stenosis, ages ranging from 19 to 70, underwent tracheal resection and reconstruction. Patients received total anesthesia and neuromuscular blocking agents for the duration of their surgery.
