Summary

This study looked at 160 people with head and neck cancer who needed a diagnostic exam called panendoscopy under general anesthesia. Researchers compared standard oxygen therapy with a high-flow system called THRIVE (Optiflow) to see which one better prevents drops in oxygen levels. The goal is to improve patient safety during these common procedures.
