Overview
Brief Summary
The aims of this observational study is to evaluate and compare feasibility of airway management during standardized TCI and RSI anesthesia induction.
Detailed Description
The aims of this study are to evaluate and compare feasibility of airway management and risk for desaturation during standardized target controlled infusion (TCI) and rapid sequence induction (RSI) of anesthesia. A conventional way to induce anesthesia, i.e. manual injection of anesthetics, may be more accurate and predictable compared to dosing regimes based on complex mathematical algorithms used in TCI-systems. In addition, today many different models are presented and there is no consensus which kind of TCI-algorithm should be used universally. Moreover, dosing algorithms are most complex and challenging in underweight and morbid obesity. There are many publications on this field, but no data of feasibility of airway management can be found. Indeed, RSI induction is traditionally blamed to be risky and not recommended as a first choice.
