No Tube, No Problem: High-Flow Nasal Oxygen in General Anesthesia

In this episode of Updates in Anesthesiology, Dr. Hadzic discusses a 2025 Anesthesia & Analgesia trial that challenges a long-standing airway management routine.Could high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) replace the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) for short general anesthesia cases without muscle paralysis? This randomized trial puts it to the test, reporting surprising results on safety, comfort, and carbon dioxide dynamics. Stick around as we unpack the science, the caveats, and what this could mean for the future of low-invasive airway management.Where else to find us: Web- ⁠⁠http://www.nysora.com⁠⁠ Instagram- ⁠⁠instagram.com/nysora.inc/ ⁠⁠LinkedIN- ⁠⁠linkedin.com/company/nysora-inc/⁠⁠ Facebook- ⁠⁠facebook.com/nysora⁠⁠ Twitter- ⁠⁠x.com/nysora⁠⁠ TikTok- ⁠⁠tiktok.com/@nysora_inc⁠⁠ --------------------------------------------------------- ⁠⁠#nysora⁠⁠ ⁠⁠#regionalanesthesia⁠⁠ ⁠⁠#anesthesia⁠⁠Disclaimer: Medicine is an ever-changing science.
