No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Several techniques such as positive airway pressure and head-up tilt during preoxygenation have shown to prolong non-hypoxic apnea period compared to conventional technique. However, uniform recommendations have not yet been made. Therefore, in the present study the investigators attempted to find out the effect of combination of 5 cmH2O CPAP and 25° head up position during preoxygenation.
