Preoxygenation in children using expired oxygraphy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We performed preoxygenation on 25 patients, aged 1-12 yr. End-tidal oxygen sampling was used to find the duration of preoxygenation required to reach an end-tidal oxygen fraction of 0.9. All children reached this end-point within 80 s, which was markedly more rapid than that observed in adult subjects. The clinical applications of this form of monitoring in children are discussed.

Children at increased risk of hypoxia.
To the Editor:-The editorial by Benumof’ regarding preoxygenation cited pediatric patients as “obvious exclusion examples,” and suggesting that they were not candidates for preoxygenation before the induction of general anesthesia. On the contrary, neonates, infants, and children are at increased risk of hypoxemia because of smaller functional residual capacities, increased heart rates, and inc...
متن کاملEffects of preoxygenation with the three minutes tidal volume breathing technique in the elderly
BACKGROUND Preoxygenation with tidal volume breathing for 3 min is commonly used technique. An end tidal expiratory oxygen concentration greater than 90% is considerd to be adequate for preoxygenation. The aim of this study was to check the effects of preoxygenation on elderly patients through the comparison with young patients during the 3 min tidal volume breathing technique. METHODS Sixty ...
متن کاملAssessment of Common Preoxygenation Strategies Outside of the Operating Room Environment.
OBJECTIVES Preoxygenation prior to intubation aims to increase the duration of safe apnea by causing denitrogenation of the functional residual capacity, replacing this volume with a reservoir of oxygen. In the operating room (OR) the criterion standard for preoxygenation is an anesthetic circuit and well-fitting face mask, which provide a high fractional inspired oxygen concentration (FiO2 ). ...
متن کاملPreoxygenation using invasive ventilator in volume control mode in patients with emergency intubation can shorten the time of preoxygenation and improve the quality of preoxygenation
Preoxygenation can rapidly improve oxygenation and enhance the security of endotracheal intubation, so it is very essential before endotracheal intubation. The conventional preoxygenation method self-inflating bag (SIB) is not very effective in case of emergency. So our study aims to find a more effective method of preoxygenation in a critical situation.We retrospectively analyzed data of 105 p...
متن کاملImproved accuracy of lactose tolerance test in children, using expired H2 measurement.
Expired hydrogen and blood glucose were measured during an oral lactose tolerance test in 163 children aged between 9 months and 14 years. Lactose malabsorption, defined as an abnormal increase in expired H2 during a lactose tolerance test, was found in 54 children. Of these, 30 were found to be lactose intolerant as the increased expired H2 was accompanied by clinical symptoms. The other 109 c...
