Pre/apnoeic oxygenation must be done well. Patience, VC breaths +/- high flow nasal oxygen are key. We’ll cover Optiflow & jet ventilation later this month, here are #OnePagers covering NO-DESAT by @airwaycam & THRIVE by Anil Patel and @larynxUK . 5/7 #FOAMed #JanuAIRWAY 5/7

Traches = surgical / percutaneous. 3 main surgical techniques – window, slit & Bjork flap. Important difference = time for tract maturity: Perc = 7-10days Surgical = 2-4days Important in decannulation, a false tract can occur if trach re-inserted before maturity! #JanuAIRWAY 5/9
