Managing Hypoxemic Difficult Airway

Discussion on categorizing patients with hypoxemic difficult airway based on oxygen saturation levels, pre-oxygenation strategies, and monitoring techniques. Insights shared on identifying patients requiring supplemental oxygen during intubation and the importance of end-tidal O2 monitors for successful airway management. Topics explored include denitrogenation techniques, use of high flow nasal oxygenation in shunt patients, and challenges of mask ventilating a hypoxemic airway with high flow nasal cannulas.
