This case report describes the use of high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) in a patient with morbid obesity (BMI = 90 kg/m) who underwent emergency laparotomy under general anesthesia. This 54-year-old female patient with American Society of Anesthesia classification 4 E is known to have COVID pneumonia with Obstuctive Sleep Apnea. She was admitted in the ICU for 3 days and she was on Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) alternating with HFNO to keep her SpO 91%-92%, on FiO 60%, and respiratory rate (RR) 40-45/min. The plan for airway management was rapid sequence intubation with preoxygenation using the HFNO. We here report this case to show the usefulness of HFNO, which adds a new dimension in airway management of similar cases.
本病例报告描述了高流量鼻导管给氧(HFNO)在一名病态肥胖患者(BMI = 90 kg/m²)中的应用,该患者在全身麻醉下接受了急诊剖腹手术。这名54岁的女性患者,美国麻醉医师协会分级为4 E级,已知患有新冠肺炎并伴有阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停。她在重症监护病房(ICU)住院3天,期间使用双水平气道正压通气(BiPAP)并交替使用HFNO,以维持其血氧饱和度(SpO₂)在91%-92%,吸入氧浓度(FiO₂)为60%,呼吸频率(RR)为40-45次/分钟。气道管理计划是使用HFNO进行预充氧后实施快速顺序诱导插管。我们在此报告该病例,以展示HFNO的实用性,它为类似病例的气道管理增添了新的维度。
