Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Pulmonary Atelectasis
Anesthesia, General
Interventions
Other: high-flow nasal oxygen
Other: facemask
Registration Number
NCT06205212
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

Atelectasis after induction of general anesthesia is common even in healthy patients and is clinically problematic, especially in obese patients. We aim to investigate whether preoxygenation with high-flow nasal oxygen during anesthesia induction reduces atelectasis in obese patients.
