A Prospective, Randomized, Non-Blinded, Crossover Controlled Clinical Trial Evaluating the Efficacy of Face Mask Ventilation With 45 Degree Head Rotation in Anesthetized Obese (BMI ≥ 35) Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Head Rotation During Face Mask Ventilation and Medline Top Valve Anesthesia Mask for Noninvasive Ventilation. Completed, enrolled 21 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Mask ventilation is fundamental to airway management at the start of surgical procedures requiring general anesthesia. For general anesthesia, medications are provided that affect the entire body and lead to a loss of consciousness. Medical professionals perform mask ventilation by placing a plastic mask over a subjects mouth and nose to provide enough oxygen for the placement of a breathing tube. In this study, we expect that a 45 degree rotation of the head will increase the efficiency of mask ventilation.

Interventions
Participants will receive face mask ventilation in either a neutral head position (practice standard position) or a head rotation position (45 degree angle).
Face mask used per standard of care to provide oxygen to subjects before surgical procedures.
