About this trial
This study aims to investigate two oxygenation methods (high flow nasal oxygen and supraglottic, superimposed high-frequency jet ventilation) for tubeless laryngotracheal surgeries concerning their safety and efficiency.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Written informed consent
Patients aged ≥18 years
Patients requiring elective tubeless laryngotracheal surgery
Disqualifiers
Patients <18 years
High risk of aspiration which concludes the consideration of using a tube in order to prevent aspiration.

Treatments tested in this trial
supraglottic superimposed high frequency jet ventilation ventilation using the TwinStream EVO (Carl Reiner GmbH, Vienna, Austria)
Devicesupraglottic superimposed high frequency jet ventilation ventilation using the TwinStream EVO (Carl Reiner GmbH, Vienna, Austria). Initially FiO2 at 1.0, reduced to 0.3 during laser interventions. Frequency and pressure set according to the local standards
High-flow nasal supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula with the Optiflow (Fisher & Paykel, Auckland, New Zealand)
Deviceup to 70 L/min FiO2 1.0 high flow oxygen via nasal cannula with the Optiflow (Fisher \& Paykel, Auckland, New Zealand) initially. Reduced FiO2 to 0.3 during laser intervention.
