A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of three different pre-oxygenation strategies: using a non-rebreather face mask, a bag-valve-mask with positive end-expiratory pressure, and a bag-valve-mask without additional pressure. The study involves spontaneously breathing volunteers and aims to measure various endpoints, including expiratory oxygen concentration and Oxygen Reserve Index at different time points during the pre-oxygenation sessions. A total of 45 participants will be enrolled, divided into three subgroups, to assess the differences in oxygenation strategies.
