Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Preoxygenation
Interventions
Device: THRIVE preoxygenation
Device: Facemask preoxygenation

Brief Summary

This study aims to determine the duration for pre-oxygenation using THRIVE and facemask for parturients.

Detailed Description

We aim to determine the duration required for THRIVE and facemask preoxygenation in parturients for them to achieve ETO2 \>90%.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Preoxygenation DurationMaximum 8 minutes

Duration to achieve EtO2 \>=90% after tidal volume breathing using THRIVE and facemask pre-oxygenation.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion to Reach EtO2 of 90 Percent at 7 Minutes7 minutes of preoxygenation
Proportion to Reach End Tidal Oxygen (ETO2) of 90 Percent at 3 Minutes3 minutes of pre-oxygenation
Proportion to Reach EtO2 of 90 Percent at 4 Minutes4 minutes of preoxygenation
Proportion to Reach EtO2 of 90 Percent at 5 Minutes5 minutes of preoxygenation
Proportion to Reach EtO2 of 90 Percent at 8 Minutes8 minutes of preoxygenation
Comfort Score1 minute after data collection

Patients were asked to rate their comfort with the device on a 5 point Likert Scale: (1=completely uncomfortable, 2=slightly uncomfortable, 3=neutral, 4=slightly comfortable, 5= completely comfortable)

Proportion to Reach EtO2 of 90 Percent at 6 Minutes6 minutes of preoxygenation
Acceptability Score1 minute after data collection

Acceptability was measured with a 5-point Likert Score (1= unacceptable, 2=slightly unacceptable,3=neutral, 4=slightly acceptable, 5=acceptable).
