Improving preoxygenation

Drawover anaesthesia and preoxygenation.

We have studied the efficacy of preoxygenation using the Triservice Anaesthetic Apparatus (TSA) in healthy patients and found it to be unsatisfactory. An alternative technique suitable for field use was explored. The Mapleson D system (Bain) was found to be suitable for preoxygenation with a fresh gas flow of only 4 litre of oxygen per minute. In a randomized study using only 4 litre of oxygen ...

Preoxygenation-routine preoxygenation during induction and recovery from anesthesia is recommended as a minimal safety precaution.

Comparison of four methods of preoxygenation.

We studied four different techniques of preoxygenation in 20 healthy volunteers, by continuous analysis of respired gases. Three minutes of tidal breathing from a Magill breathing system or four vital capacity breaths from a non-rebreathing system were found to be equally effective, whereas four vital capacity breaths from a Magill breathing system were less effective. Maximal expiration before...

Preoxygenation using invasive ventilator in volume control mode in patients with emergency intubation can shorten the time of preoxygenation and improve the quality of preoxygenation

Preoxygenation can rapidly improve oxygenation and enhance the security of endotracheal intubation, so it is very essential before endotracheal intubation. The conventional preoxygenation method self-inflating bag (SIB) is not very effective in case of emergency. So our study aims to find a more effective method of preoxygenation in a critical situation.We retrospectively analyzed data of 105 p...

Can increasing mean airway pressure augment preoxygenation?
