The Optimum Time for Preoxygenation Based on Body Mass Index
Completed
Conditions studied: Body Weight, Obesity
In brief
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the time needed to raise the oxygen concentration in patient's blood to 90% and his/or her body mass index. The prevalence of obesity in our society continues to rise. No studies have shown the time required for preoxygenation (oxygen given) in relation to body mass index (body weight in kg/height in meter2).

You may not qualify if…
- Conditions which would affect their oxygenation such as heart disease, lung disease, anemia (Hemoglobin less than 12 g/dL)
