Effects of One-handed and Two-handed Mask Ventilation Techniques on Global and Regional Lung Ventilation

Not Applicable
Conditions
Anesthesia
Registration Number
NCT04617665
Lead Sponsor
Fudan University
Brief Summary

Two-handed mask ventilation has been shown to provide higher tidal volume than one-handed mask ventilation. The effects of the two techniques on respiratory mechanics during induction of general anesthesia, however, still need to be determined.

Detailed Description

Mask positive pressure ventilation always causes the changes of respiratory mechanics such as ventral redistribution of regional ventilation, which impairs gas exchange. Two-handed mask ventilation has been shown to improve gas exchange by providing higher tidal volume than one-handed mask ventilation. We hypothesis that those higher tidal volume caused by two-handed mask ventilation would also improve the respiratory mechanics during induction of general anesthesia.

NameTimeMethod
global inhomogeneity (GI)8 weeks

EIT images will be acquired by using the EIT monitor (Drager Medical Gmbh, Lubeck, Germany). And a software package (Electrical impedance tomography diag custom software provided by Drager Medical) will be used to quantitatively analyze the EIT data. 0% = homogenous

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
regional ventilation delay (RVD)8 weeks

EIT images will be acquired by using the EIT monitor (Drager Medical Gmbh, Lubeck, Germany). And a software package (Electrical impedance tomography diag custom software provided by Drager Medical) will be used to quantitatively analyze the EIT data.

Expiratory tidal volume (TV)8 weeks

Expiratory tidal volume will be recorded through the anesthesia machine.

PaO2/FiO28 weeks

PaO2/FiO2 will be recorded through arterial blood gas analysis.
