A Comparison of Controlled Ventilation With the V60 Non-Invasive Ventilator vs. Traditional Mask Ventilation

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Respiratory Complications Due to Anesthesia
Interventions
Device: Noninvasive Ventilator, V60 (Philips)
Device: Manual Bag
Registration Number
NCT02623270
Lead Sponsor
University of Utah
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an experienced anesthesia provider can adequately and/or easily mask ventilate an anesthetized patient with a commercial non-invasive ventilator device.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an experienced anesthesia provider can adequately and/or easily mask ventilate an anesthetized patient with a commercial non-invasive ventilator device. The ventilator subject of this study is commonly used in the ICU and investigators aim to evaluate its usefulness in the OR. Investigators believe that the ventilator will ventilate with consistent breath rates, adequate tidal volumes and minimal airway pressures. The providers subjective scoring of ease or difficulty of ventilation with each device will also be recorded.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Average of the difference in Respiratory Rate between Manual and Mechanical Ventilation (1/min)Assessment will be made during the procedure during 10 consecutive breaths (depending on the breath rate, for approximately 1 minute) after induction but before intubation.

Difference in average respiratory rate between manual ventilation and mechanical noninvasive ventilation averaged per patient, then averaged across all studied patients. Unit: 1/min.

Average of the difference in ideal body weight indexed tidal volume between Manual and Mechanical Ventilation (mL/kg)Assessment will be made during the procedure during 10 consecutive breaths (depending on the breath rate, for approximately 1 minute) after induction but before intubation

Difference in average tidal volume per ideal body weight between manual ventilation and mechanical noninvasive ventilation, averaged per patient, then averaged across all studied patients. Unit: mL/kg

In-Patient Average Difference of Standard Deviation in Respiratory Rate between Manual and Mechanical Ventilation (1/min)Assessment will be made during the procedure during 10 consecutive breaths (depending on the breath rate, for approximately 1 minute) after induction but before intubation
