From: Risk of airway fire with the use of KTP laser and high flow humidified oxygen delivery in a laryngeal surgery model

Figure 5

Estimated clinical risk of flame when lasing up to 5 s by oxygen concentration, laser mode, tissue type and charring based on experimental data. Percentages on the figures show the risks for oxygen concentration 40, 50, 60, and 90 respectively. (a) Laser setting: 26 W pulsed, tissue: uncharred muscle; (b) Laser setting: 26 W pulsed, tissue: uncharred adipose tissue; (c) Laser setting: 5 W continuous, tissue: charred adipose tissue.
