 Morbidly obese patients undergoing general anesthesia are at risk of hypoxemia during anesthesia induction.

High-flow nasal oxygenation use during anesthesia induction prolongs safe apnea time in nonobese surgical patients.

The primary objective of our study was to compare safe apnea time, between patients given high-flow nasal oxygenation or conventional facemask oxygenation during anesthesia induction, in morbidly obese surgical patients.

CONCLUSIONS:

High-flow nasal oxygenation, compared to conventional oxygenation, provided a longer safe apnea time by 76 seconds (40%) and higher minimum Spo2 in morbidly obese patients during anesthesia induction.

High-flow oxygenation use should be considered in morbidly obese surgical patients.
