- Brief Summary
Optiflow™ may provide an opportunity to prolong apnea time in the morbidly obese patient population. This study will examine whether Optiflow can do this, and compare the pre-oxygenation with Optiflow to the pre-oxygenation achieved with face mask.
- Detailed Description
The use of high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) originated in neonatal care, and has become widespread in its application for patients that are high risk for hypoxemia, both in critical care and emergency settings. Therefore, high flow nasal oxygenation continues to be studied in airway management for preoxygenation, as well as maintenance of oxygenation in airway procedures. Optiflow™, a humidified high flow nasal cannula, has already been shown to be useful in preventing desaturation during intubation in ICU patients versus the non-rebreathing mask, in addition to, prolonging safe apnea time in patients with potential difficult airways. Additionally, preoxygenation with HFNC prior to intubation of patients in hypoxemic respiratory failure has also been shown to decrease desaturation during apnea compared to preoxygenation with traditional bag valve mask. The morbidly obese patient presents a separate group of challenges to the anesthesiologist in regards to mask ventilation and intubation. Obesity (along with other factors) has been shown to contribute to difficulty with mask ventilation. Obese patients have altered respiratory physiology, including decreased functional residual capacity, increased oxygen consumption and lower tidal volumes, as compared to the non-obese patient. These factors contribute to obese patients potentially having a shorter apnea time before desaturating during induction of general anesthesia, as compared to the non-obese patient. Weight is inversely correlated with safe apnea time. Optiflow™ may provide an opportunity to prolong apnea time in the morbidly obese patient population. If demonstrated to be efficacious as a method for preoxygenation and prolongation of apneic time, this could provide a safer environment for intubation in this particular patient population.

Group Intervention Description Preoxygenation with face mask facemask Standard preoxygenation with a mask will be performed for five minutes. Once preoxygenation is complete, patients will be induced with standard induction medications including lidocaine, midazolam, fentanyl and propofol. Once the patient is apneic, one breath will be given via facemask to confirm ventilation and then 0.6 mg/kg of rocuronium will be administered. The 5.5mm flexible intubation scope will be introduced into the oropharynx and advanced into the trachea with the assistance of the C-MAC video laryngoscope. Once the flexible intubation scope is in the trachea, the endotracheal tube (7.0 mm unless otherwise specified) will be advanced. Ventilation will not begin until the primary or secondary endpoints are reached. Preoxygenation via hi flow nasal cannula Optiflow F&P 850™ System The high flow nasal cannula (Optiflow) will be applied as soon as the patient is in the operating room. The patient will be preoxygenated with high flow nasal cannula at 50 L/min for 5 minutes. After induction, general anesthesia will be maintained with a propofol infusion. One breath will be given via facemask to confirm ventilation and then 0.6 mg/kg of rocuronium will be administered. Upon apnea, the Optiflow™ flow will be increased to 70 L/min and jaw thrust will be performed until the patient is adequately relaxed. The video laryngoscope (C-MAC) will then be introduced into the oropharynx and the flexible intubation scope advanced into the trachea with the assistance of the C-MAC.
