Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an experienced anesthesia provider can adequately and/or easily mask ventilate an anesthetized patient with a commercial non-invasive ventilator device. The ventilator subject of this study is commonly used in the ICU and investigators aim to evaluate its usefulness in the OR. Investigators believe that the ventilator will ventilate with consistent breath rates, adequate tidal volumes and minimal airway pressures. The providers subjective scoring of ease or difficulty of ventilation with each device will also be recorded.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Noninvasive Ventilation After induction of anesthesia, checking of ability to bag mask ventilating the patient, the manual bag ventilation will be replaced by a Noninvasive Ventilator, V60 (Philips) |
Device: Noninvasive Ventilator, V60 (Philips)
The noninvasive ventilator will be set to deliver 10 breaths per minute with a pressure setting of 8 cm H2O during exhalation and 20 cm H2O during inspiration. The inspired oxygen fraction given by the ventilator will be set at the maximum level (100% oxygen).
Device: Manual Bag
Oxygen will flow through the standard breathing circuit with the fresh gas flow rate set at 10 L/min and the patient will be ventilated. The anesthesia provider will manually bag mask ventilate the patient until the anesthesiologist feels comfortable that the patient can be ventilated appropriately.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Average of the difference in Respiratory Rate between Manual and Mechanical Ventilation (1/min) [Assessment will be made during the procedure during 10 consecutive breaths (depending on the breath rate, for approximately 1 minute) after induction but before intubation.]
Difference in average respiratory rate between manual ventilation and mechanical noninvasive ventilation averaged per patient, then averaged across all studied patients. Unit: 1/min.
- Average of the difference in ideal body weight indexed tidal volume between Manual and Mechanical Ventilation (mL/kg) [Assessment will be made during the procedure during 10 consecutive breaths (depending on the breath rate, for approximately 1 minute) after induction but before intubation]
Difference in average tidal volume per ideal body weight between manual ventilation and mechanical noninvasive ventilation, averaged per patient, then averaged across all studied patients. Unit: mL/kg
- In-Patient Average Difference of Standard Deviation in Respiratory Rate between Manual and Mechanical Ventilation (1/min) [Assessment will be made during the procedure during 10 consecutive breaths (depending on the breath rate, for approximately 1 minute) after induction but before intubation]
Difference in standard deviation of respiratory rate between manual ventilation and mechanical noninvasive ventilation averaged per patient, then averaged across all studied patients. Unit: 1/min.
- In-Patient Average Difference of Standard Deviation in ideal body weight indexed tidal volume between Manual and Mechanical Ventilation (mL/kg) [Assessment will be made during the procedure during 10 consecutive breaths (depending on the breath rate, for approximately 1 minute) after induction but before intubation]
Difference in standard deviation of tidal volume per ideal body weight between manual ventilation and mechanical noninvasive ventilation, averaged per patient, then averaged across all studied patients. Unit: mL/kg
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Difficulty or ease of ventilation as perceived by anesthesia provider [Assessment will be made within one hour after the surgery has been completed.]
