Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2020
Pre-oxygenation increases oxygen reserves in the body to reduce the likelihood of oxygen desaturation on induction of general anaesthesia. Pre-oxygenation with facemask is the commonest method method of pre-oxygenation. High-flow nasal oxygen is a newer alternative. This study randomises participants to receive pre-oxygenation by one of three methods: facemask, high-flow nasal oxygen, high-flow nasal oxygen plus mouthpiece.
