NCT00673634 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2008-06-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether pre-oxygenation of obese patients with BiPAP 4cm H2O, renders any benefit to the quality of pre-oxygenation measured by the expired oxygen fraction (FeO2) and whether it is as well tolerated as the traditional method of spontaneous breathing for 3 minutes.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Standard preoxygenation

Spontaneous breathing of 100% oxygen in a facemask for 3 minutes.

PROCEDURE

BiPAP assisted preoxygenation

Spontaneous breathing of 100% oxygen in a facemask with application of an inspiratory pressure of 4cm H2O and a positive end-expiratory pressure of 4cm H2O, for 3 minutes.
