Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will test the efficacy of the Pentax AWSTM video laryngoscope (VLS) equipped with a P Blade (Figure 1) as the means to provide Apneic Oxygenation (AO) and prolong Duration of Apnea Without Desaturation (DAWD) in non-obese and morbidly obese females.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pre-oxygenation/de-nitrogenation for three minutes of spontaneous breathing or alternatively four to eight deep breaths prior to rapid sequence anesthetic induction/intubation (RSII) in patients with healthy lungs, low oxygen demands and normal hemoglobin levels allows up to eight minutes of safe apnea time or DAWD.

The study will test the efficacy of the Pentax AWSTM video laryngoscope (VLS) equipped with a P Blade as the means to provide apneic oxygenation and prolong DAWD. The P Blade sports a suction conduit which can equally well provide a conduit for oxygen administration. The initial phase of the study will include non-obese healthy (ASAR 1-2) women patients requiring endotracheal anesthesia for gynecologic (open or laparoscopic) abdominal surgery. Subsequently a cohort of morbidly obese patients (BM I ≥ 40 kg/m2) also requiring gynecologic abdominal access will be recruited for investigation.

Participants of each group (obese, non-obese) will be randomized to apneic oxygenation with the the Pentax AWS Laryngoscope or no apneic oxygenation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Non-Obese: Apneic Oxygenation: eight minute

Non-obese healthy female patients requiring endotracheal anesthesia for gynecologic (open or laparoscopic) abdominal surgery will have the Pentax AWSTM video laryngoscope with attached P blade placed and then receive 10 l/minute flow of oxygen through the P blade (apneic oxygenation) for eight minutes, or earlier if SpO2 falls to ≤ 95%. The trachea will then be intubated and the ventilation of the lungs will commence using 100% oxygen until SpO2 ≥ 98%.
