Abstract

Aims: Airway surgery presents a unique environment for fire to occur as the shared airway is often oxygen rich. Airway fires are serious with potentially devastating complications. Transnasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) is a recent method of oxygenating patients while providing a tubeless surgical field. No studies have reported airway fire using KTP laser. This study aims to explore the factors of combustion when using KTP laser with THRIVE at various settings in an ex-vivo model.
