Results: HFNOT was used in 6 children who underwent 14 procedures for different forms and causes of upper airway obstruction of various origins. No intraoperative complications; related to oxygenation were observed, and the surgical procedures could be carried out as; initially planned. Conclusions: We found that HFNOT is an effective and safe technique with a variety of potential applications in the field of endoscopic pediatric airway surgery.
