High Flow Oxygen With THRIVE Gives Better Oxygenation in Rapid Sequence Induction Patients (THRIVE/RSI 1)

St George's, University of London

Status: Unknown

Conditions: High Flow Oxygen in Rapid Sequence Induction; Airway Morbidity

Treatments: Device: High flow oxygen; Device: face mask oxygen

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT02777840

15/LO/0277

Details and patient eligibility

About

High flow oxygen results in better oxygenation in emergency cases needing rapid sequence induction for anaesthesia. Secondary outcome measure is time for any desaturation.

Full description

The investigators intend to do the study using high flow oxygen for all emergency cases needing rapid sequence induction. As part of the study the Investigators will measure the oxygen levels in the blood gas sample of the patient and the heart rate of anesthetist in charge of the airway management. After the airway is secured the time for desaturation will be noted.

Enrollment: 80 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 16+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
