    Carbon dioxide clearance during apnoea with high-flow nasal oxygen: epiphenomenon or a failure to THRIVE?

    Toner notes the rapid adoption of high-flow nasal oxygen for apnoeic oxygenation, particularly in the context of competing alternatives that have not enjoyed the same popularity.

    Specifically, it is highlighted that there is a lack of high-quality RCTs confirming the ability of Transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) to acceptably clear CO2 with prolonged periods of apnoea. RCT results are awaited.
