Welcome to the next installment of the Anesthesia Patient Safety podcast hosted by Alli Bechtel.  This podcast is an exciting journey towards improved anesthesia patient safety.

We are turning up the flows once again. Join us as we review considerations for the use of High-Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO) with an emphasis on the benefits during difficult airway management balanced against the potential for increased fire risk. Spoiler alert: more research, reporting, education, and innovation is needed in this area before we see more routine use of high-flow nasal oxygen in the OR.
