Recently high flow nasal oxygenation was used to prolong the safe apnoea period during induction of general anaesthesia.

This randomized study was designed to compare between using transnasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilator exchange technique (THRIVE) and traditional face mask for preoxygenation in caesarean section.

The primary aim was to measure the safe apnoea time.

The study was performed on 100 ASA II pregnant women scheduled for elective caesarean section under general anaesthesia. Patients were randomly assigned to either face mask ventilation or THRIVE.
