Guidance on airway management during laser surgery of upper airway Ingestion-build-266356 BS 799-2 does not apply1 Scope At present there is no way to avoid completely the risk of an airway fire when a laser is used in the airway. This guide is intended to help minimize this risk by listing a) those characteristics of a tracheal tube that make it most suitable for laser airway operations, recognizing that it may not be possible in practice to produce a device combining such characteristics; b) several standard practices that reduce the risk of airway fire during
