Non‑intubated general anesthesia with a supraglottic airway for heart transplantation: a preliminary cohort study of feasibility and enhanced recovery.

Endotracheal intubation (endotracheal intubation) with mechanical ventilation has been the long-standing standard of care for general anesthesia of heart transplantation.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and recovery impact of a non‑intubated anesthesia (NIA) strategy using a supraglottic airway.
