Minimizing Deoxygenation Events During Anesthesia With a Novel Distal Pharyngeal Airway
The goal of the study is to compare deoxygenation events during anesthesia induction and mask ventilation when using standard oral pharyngeal airways or the novel distal pharyngeal airway.
Inclusion: Patient presenting for surgery at main Stanford Hospital; Over 18 years old; ASA Class II, III, IV; High risk for hypoxic events during intubation based on their past medical history; BMI >35; Likelihood of obstructive sleep apnea utilizing the STOP-BANG questionnaire; History of diagnosed sleep apnea; History of difficult intubation; Prior need for two-handed mask ventilation; Requiring general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation for surgery.
Exclusion: Altered mental status; Anesthesia technique includes rapid sequence or modified rapid sequence intubation; Poorly controlled gastroesophageal reflux.
