Summary

Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) is a high-risk procedure in the emergency department (ED). Patients are routinely preoxygenated (given supplemental oxygen) prior to RSI to prevent hypoxia during intubation. For many years anaesthetists have used end-tidal oxygen (ETO2) levels to guide the effectiveness of preoxygenation prior to intubation. The ETO2 gives an objective measurement of preoxygenation efficacy. This is currently not available in most EDs.

This trial evaluates the use of ETO2 on the rate of hypoxia during intubation for patients in the ED.

DEVICE

End-tidal oxygen monitor

The only additional equipment required for this study is the Philips™ IntelliVue G7m Gas Analyser Module 866173. This provides a non-dispersive infrared measurement of respiratory gases and a paramagnetic measurement of oxygen. At Lincoln Medical Center, the gas analyser used will be a Philips G5 gas analyser connected to a Philips Intellivue MP 70. At the University of New Mexico Medical Center, the Masimo root monitor is used. The gas analysers produce display waves for O2 and CO2, together with numerics for end-tidal values for O2 and CO2 and to our knowledge, there are no differences in values between the various devices used. The gas sampling occurs through a side-stream sampling tube at a rate of 200ml/min ±20 ml/min, which is either obtained from a nasal cannula in the spontaneously breathing patient or a sidestream line if connected to a BVM.
