TechnicalRegister
The maintenance of arterial oxygenation during apnoea by a passive flow of oxygen into the lungs, buying time during a prolonged intubation attempt.
High-flow nasal oxygen provided apnoeic oxygenation and kept her saturations up throughout the difficult laryngoscopy.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
