Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Inspiratory support versus spontaneous breathing during preoxygenation in healthy subjects. A randomized, double blind, cross-over trial].
Applying an inspiratory support (AI) and a positive end expiratory pressure (PEP) could increase the effectiveness of the preoxygenation. ⋯ This study shows applying AI plus PEP during preoxygenation improves its effectiveness in the healthy subjects. It also suggests that, in a population of healthy volunteers, combination AI-4/PEP-4 is preferable to AI-6/PEP-4 because so effective, but better tolerated.
