Abstract

In clinical practice, several emergencies may threaten the life of patients, and these emergencies can be unpredictable and challenging. During the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, in January 2023, a patient developed respiratory distress caused by coronavirus, but was unable to access respiratory support due to shortages of medical resources, intensive care unit beds and ventilators. The medical staff quickly created a portable high‑flow atomized oxygen therapy apparatus consisting of a simple breathing bag connected to a nebulizer to provide breathing support. In addition, the Ambulatory Surgery Center, The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University (Hefei, China) witnessed a case of severe laryngeal spasm after tracheal extubation during the recovery period from general anesthesia. Due to the lack of an anesthesia machine nebulizer, the aforementioned device was used to provide oxygen under pressure and initiate treatment to quickly relieve the symptoms of laryngeal obstruction. The present case report describes how the medical staff quickly applied emergency airway management skills and knowledge to create a portable high‑flow atomized oxygen therapy apparatus in a resource‑poor setting to save the lives of two patients.
