Lodenius A, et al. - Authors undertook a comparison of the lowest peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO₂) during intubation when pre-oxygenating with either traditional facemask or Transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE). No variations were disclosed in intubation time or apnoea time between the groups. Median intubation time was discovered to be 51 s in the facemask group vs 48 s in the THRIVE group. As per the results, median apnoea time was 109 s and 116 s when using facemask and THRIVE, respectively. Results did not reveal any signs of regurgitation of gastric content. Potential benefits of oxygenation were illustrated with THRIVE for rapid sequence induction compared with facemask pre-oxygenation.
