This report describes a case in which a hiatal hernia was successfully induced using HFNC. A 90-year-old woman with a history of reflux esophagitis was under medical management. Preoperative chest radiography revealed hiatal hernia. Anesthesia was induced after admission to the operating room and preoxygenation with HFNC. The oxygen flow was then increased to 70 L/min, and tracheal intubation was performed. SpO<sub>2</sub> remained at ≥99% during apnea for approximately 2 min, and no gastric reflux occurred. Rapid sequence induction combined with HFNC may be an effective option for patients with hiatal hernias who are at a high risk of gastric reflux during anesthetic induction.</p>","PeriodicalId":94330,"journal":{"name":"Journal of dental anesthesia and pain medicine","volume":"25 4","pages":"287-290"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12328133/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144818985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
