Comparison of preoxygenation efficiency with Intersurgical Economy and Intersurgical QuadraLite anaesthetic face masks.
Sufficient preoxygenation prevents arterial oxygen desaturation prior to intubation. An optimally sealed facemask is necessary for fast preoxygenation. The study was aimed at comparing the efficiency of preoxygenation using two different face masks. ⋯ Preoxygenation was significantly more efficient and faster with Intersurgical QuadraLite face masks.
