The purpose of this study is to investigate whether diagnostic bronchoscopy can be safely and potentially more effectively performed without the use of tracheal intubation or a supraglottic airway, under completely unobstructed surgical conditions afforded by THRIVE: Transnasal Humidified Rapid- Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange. THRIVE provides patient's gas exchange through rapid insufflation of high-flow oxygen via specialized nasal cannula.

Lowest Intraoperative Peripheral Oxygen Saturation (SpO2)
Peripheral oxygen saturation is an estimate of the amount of oxygen in the blood.
Time frame: Duration of surgery (average approximately 1 hour)
Awakening/Extubation Time
Recorded from the end of surgery until the return of patient's protective airway reflexes and patient opening eyes to command.
Time frame: Duration of surgery (average approximately 1 hour)
Time to Bronchoscope Placement in Trachea
Recorded from the moment of the introduction of the bronchoscope in patient's mouth to tracheal placement.
Time frame: Duration of surgery (average approximately 1 hour)
Number of Tracheal Bronchoscope Placements Required
Time frame: Duration of surgery (average approximately 1 hour)
Duration of Procedure
Recorded from the introduction of the bronchoscope in patient's mouth to withdrawing the bronchoscope at the completion of procedure.
Time frame: Duration of surgery (average approximately 1 hour)
Time to Patient Being Alert and Oriented x 4
Recorded from patient's admission to the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) to patient's orientation to person, place, time, and situation as assessed by the recovery room nurse.
Time frame: Duration of surgery (average approximately 1 hour)
Recovery Room Discharge-ready Time
From admission to recovery room, to discharge from recovery room
Time frame: Duration of recovery room stay (average approximately 1 hour)

First Pain Score in Recovery Room
Pain was measured using an 11-point visual analogue scale (VAS). Range: 0-11 (0 = no pain; 11 = worst pain imaginable).
Time frame: Duration of recovery room stay (average approximately 1 hour)
Discharge-ready Pain Score
Pain was measured using an 11-point visual analogue scale (VAS). Range: 0-11 (0 = no pain; 11 = worst pain imaginable).
Time frame: Day of discharge (up to 2 minutes)
Analgesic Consumption
Analgesic consumption was measured in oral morphine milligram equivalents (MME)
Time frame: Recovery room to 7th postoperative day
