Abstract

Tracheostomy is considered as a first treatment, when oral intubation seems to be difficult in patient who present severe upper airway obstruction. Generally, tracheostomy is performed in supine position. But if airway obstruction is severe enough to cause dyspnea, low oxygen saturation and inability to maintain supine position, tracheostomy should be performed in sitting position. The authors report a case of successful tracheostomy using high flow nasal cannula which help to maintain stable oxygen saturation and respiration in patients with laryngeal cancer.
