Summary

Mask ventilation is fundamental to airway management at the start of surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia. For general anesthesia, medications are provided that affect the entire body and lead to a loss of consciousness. Medical professionals perform mask ventilation by placing a plastic mask over a subjects mouth and nose to provide enough oxygen for the placement of a breathing tube. In this study, we expect that a 45 degree rotation of the head will increase the efficiency of mask ventilation.

Conditions

  • Noninvasive Ventilation

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Head Rotation During Face Mask Ventilation

Participants will receive face mask ventilation in either a neutral head position (practice standard position) or a head rotation position (45 degree angle).

DEVICE

Medline Top Valve Anesthesia Mask

Face mask used per standard of care to provide oxygen to subjects before surgical procedures.
