Brief Summary

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

Effective respiratory ventilation is achieved by moving the right amount of air in and out of the lungs while keeping the pressures at a safe level. A disposable safety device, Adult Sotair®, was created to improve manual ventilation delivery. In this non-inferiority study, we will perform a pre-post study design (single group, within-group comparison) to test the non-inferiority of the Adult Sotair® device compared to mechanical ventilation.

Detailed Description

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

Poor manual ventilation technique is a well-documented problem which occurs irrespective of a provider's qualifications or experience. A disposable safety device, Adult Sotair®, was created to improve manual ventilation delivery among providers. The device is attached to a bag valve mask (i.e. manual resuscitator) and employs a flow limiting valve mechanism to minimize excessive pressure in the airway system without venting air by capping peak flow rates at 55 L/min. For an average adult with normal lung compliance and resistance, this corresponds to a maximum airway pressure of approximately 20 cmH2O which minimizes air entry into the stomach. In this non-inferiority study, a pre-post study design (single group, within-group comparison) to test the non-inferiority of the Adult Sotair® device compared to mechanical ventilation with respect to airway pressure.

Study Groups

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

Bag mask ventilation with Adult Sotair device

The anesthesia provider will manually bag ventilate with the Adult Sotair® device for 3 minutes.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

ADULT Sotair Device

Intervention Type DEVICE

Sotair® device employs a flow limiting and pressure control valve mechanism.

Mechanical Ventilation

The anesthesia provider will remove the bag valve mask and Adult Sotair® device and connect the patient to the mechanical ventilator. The recording of pressure and flow will last for 3 minutes.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
