Should we pre-oxygenate?

چکیده
The importance of routine pre-oxygenation before induction of anaesthesia was demonstrated in animals. The onset of dangerous levels of hypoxia after the administered of suxamethonium can be delayed considerably by the administration of pure oxygen for 5 minutes before induction. This allows time for an atraumatic and a panic-free intubation before controlled ventilation. After pre-oxygenation the volume of oxygen in the functional residual capacity of the lungs shows a sixfold increase. This is the principal oxygen store during apnoea.

Emergency surgical airway in life-threatening acute airway emergencies--why are we so reluctant to do it?
'Can't intubate, can't oxygenate' scenarios are rare but are often poorly managed, with potentially disastrous consequences. In our opinion, all doctors should be able to create a surgical airway if necessary. More practically, at least all anaesthetists should have this ability. There should be a change in culture to one that encourages and facilitates the performance of a life-saving emergenc...
متن کاملA persistent 'can't intubate, can't oxygenate' crisis despite rocuronium reversal with sugammadex.
A 'can't intubate, can't oxygenate' airway crisis is a rare event which most anaesthetists will never experience during their career(1,2). This report highlights the outcome of time-critical decisions in a potential airway catastrophe. Rocuronium was used as an alternative muscle relaxant for rapid sequence induction. The use of sugammadex in 'can't intubate, can't oxygenate' crises is discusse...
متن کاملThe Subsurface Fate of Ethanol, A Look at the Emerging Oxygenate Alternative to MTBE, LUSTLine Bulletin 36
In response to the widespread contamination caused by MTBE-blended reformulated gasoline (RFG), legislative initiatives in several states and at the federal level have phased out, or are trying to phase out, the use of MTBE as a gasoline oxygenate. Ethanol is currently the most likely gasoline oxygenate alternative to MTBE. This potential for increased use of ethanol has been most widely acknow...
متن کاملCo-processing CH4 and oxygenates on Mo/H-ZSM-5: 2. CH4-CO2 and CH4-HCOOH mixtures.
Co-processing of formic acid or carbon dioxide with CH4 (FA/CH4 = 0.01-0.03 and CO2/CH4 = 0.01-0.03) on Mo/H-ZSM-5 catalysts at 950 K with the prospect of kinetically coupling dehydrogenation and deoxygenation cycles results instead in a two-zone, staged bed reactor configuration consisting of upstream oxygenate/CH4 reforming and downstream CH4 dehydroaromatization. The addition of an oxygenate...
متن کاملManagement of pediatric ‘cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate’
Case "Cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate" (CICO) is a rare, life-threatening situation. We describe a pediatric case of CICO and highlight some educational points.A 3-year-old boy who collapsed in the bathtub came to our emergency department. On admission, he went into cardiac arrest probably because of an airway obstruction. We judged his condition as CICO and carried out an emergent tracheosto...
