NCT02121808

Brief Summary

The risk of complications associated with airway management in obese patients is significant. The results of pre-oxygenation allow a prolonged non-hypoxic apnea time for the clinician. The increase in FRC and non-hypoxic apnea time is correlated. The best condition to accomplish the pre-oxygenation in morbidly obese patient is still undetermined in medical literature. This study is designed to evaluate the effect of different positions combined with different ventilation modes during the pre-oxygenation phase of anesthesia's induction. EPO2: PV will evaluate the effect of different combinations of positions and ventilation modes on pulmonary volumes (mainly functional residual capacity) in a morbidly obese volunteer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Functional Residual Capacity

    Change of functional residual capacity (FRC), in obese patient, as a result of different pre-oxygenation positions; 1- supine, 2-beach-chair, 3- reverse Trendelenburg, in two different ventilation modes : 1- spontaneous ventilation at tidal volume, 2- non-invasive positive pressure ventilation with inspiratory assistance.

    After a 5 minutes pre-oxygenation period

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Diaphragmatic Amplitude.

    After a 5 minutes pre-oxygenation period

  • Respiratory Mechanics

    At the end of a 5 minutes pre-oxygenation period

  • Patient's Comfort
