Randomized Controlled TrialThe use of Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange (THRIVE) for pre-oxygenation in neurosurgical patients: a randomised controlled trial.
This study explored the use of high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) in both pre-oxygenation and apnoeic oxygenation in adults who were intubated following a non-rapid sequence induction. Fifty patients were randomised to receive pre-oxygenation via a standard facemask or the Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange (THRIVE) device. After five minutes of pre-oxygenation, induction and muscle relaxant agents were given. ⋯ No complications were observed in either group. HFNO produces a higher PaO2 after pre-oxygenation and safe PaO2 during intubation. However, the subsequent fall in PaO2 and rise in PaCO2 indicates that it is not as effective as BMV in maintaining oxygenation and ventilation following neuromuscular blockade.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) in children: a randomized controlled trial.
Transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) was introduced to adult anaesthesia to improve the safety of airway management during apnoea before intubation. The objective of our study was to determine whether THRIVE safely prolongs apnoeic oxygenation in children. ⋯ ACTRN12615001319561.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) vs. facemask breathing pre-oxygenation for rapid sequence induction in adults: a prospective randomised non-blinded clinical trial.
Transnasal humidified rapid-insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE) can prolong apnoea time in adults. Therefore, THRIVE used for pre-oxygenation in rapid sequence induction of anaesthesia could extend safe apnoea time during prolonged laryngoscopy and intubation. In this randomised controlled trial, we compared the lowest peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) during intubation when pre-oxygenating with either traditional facemask or THRIVE. ⋯ Median apnoea time was 109 (86-142 [37-291]) s and 116 (92-146 [63-249]) s when using facemask and THRIVE, respectively (p = 0.49). No signs of regurgitation of gastric content were detected. The data on desaturation indicate potential benefits of oxygenation with THRIVE for rapid sequence induction compared with facemask pre-oxygenation.

Apnoeic oxygenation during anaesthesia has traditionally been limited by the rapid increase in carbon dioxide and subsequent decrease in pH. Using a Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange (THRIVE) technique a slower increase in carbon dioxide than earlier studies was seen. Notably, apnoeic oxygenation using THRIVE has not been systematically evaluated with arterial blood gases or in patients undergoing laryngeal surgery. The primary aim of this study was to characterize changes in arterial P O 2 , P CO 2 and pH during apnoeic oxygenation using THRIVE under general anaesthesia. ⋯ NCT02706431.

Emergency and difficult tracheal intubations are hazardous undertakings where successive laryngoscopy-hypoxaemia-re-oxygenation cycles can escalate to airway loss and the 'can't intubate, can't ventilate' scenario. Between 2013 and 2014, we extended the apnoea times of 25 patients with difficult airways who were undergoing general anaesthesia for hypopharyngeal or laryngotracheal surgery. This was achieved through continuous delivery of transnasal high-flow humidified oxygen, initially to provide pre-oxygenation, and continuing as post-oxygenation during intravenous induction of anaesthesia and neuromuscular blockade until a definitive airway was secured. ⋯ The rate of increase in end-tidal carbon dioxide was 0.15 kPa.min(-1). We conclude that THRIVE combines the benefits of 'classical' apnoeic oxygenation with continuous positive airway pressure and gaseous exchange through flow-dependent deadspace flushing. It has the potential to transform the practice of anaesthesia by changing the nature of securing a definitive airway in emergency and difficult intubations from a pressured stop-start process to a smooth and unhurried undertaking.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
The THRIVE score strongly predicts outcomes in patients treated with the Solitaire device in the SWIFT and STAR trials.
The Totaled Health Risks in Vascular Events (THRIVE) score strongly predicts clinical outcome, mortality, and risk of thrombolytic haemorrhage in ischemic stroke patients, and performs similarly well in patients receiving intravenous tissue plasminogen activator, endovascular stroke treatment, or no acute treatment. It is not known if the THRIVE score predicts outcomes with the Solitaire endovascular stroke treatment device. ⋯ The THRIVE score strongly predicts clinical outcome and mortality in patients treated with the Solitaire device in the SWIFT and STAR trials. The lack of interaction between THRIVE and procedure-specific elements such as vessel recanalization or device choice makes the THRIVE score a reasonable candidate for use as a patient selection criterion in stroke clinical trials.
